KingsMom Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Yesterday we took King out to the beach with us. While there he must have stepped on a sharp shell or rock because this morning we have discovered that his pad has a cut on it. It is in an awkward spot, on the side of the pad. He has been licking at it a lot; it isn't bleeding. It doesn't appear to be very deep. We have to leave him for several hours today so he will probably take anything I cover it with off in relatively short order. Should I try to put some bag balm or neosporin on it and cover it with a sock even though we wont be here? Does this require a vet visit tomorrow or will it just be ok if we keep it covered and with ointment on it as much as possible? Thanks for any advice you can offer; we have never dealt with this before.

Sighthounds4me Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I wouldn't think it would require a vet visit, unles it is especially deep. But I have not seen it, so I can't tell you. I would definitely put some Bag Balm or triple antibiotic on it, and cover it with a sock. Yes, he may remove the whole works, but he may not. To make it less likely, you can place duct tape on the bottom of a kennel muzzle, and put that on him, too...

Guest Jennifer4719 Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Get some EMT gel and some vet wrap. You can find it at Tractor Supply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
