rschultz Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I went to let lexie out of her cage so i don't know when it happened if it was from the cage or earleir outside but there was blood all over. When I finally figured where it was coming from..it is the one pad above the reg paw pads if that makes sense. It looks like it got cut from something. Anyways, I washed and put emj gel and wrapped it cause it was still bleeding. Not gushing but still bleeding. Is there anymore I should do or look for after I take the bandage off tomorrow? ty Quote Lexie is gone but not forgotten.💜 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Energy11 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 You can TRY Quik Stop on it, if you have any... might sting a little, but all extremities, like pads, ears, tails, etc. Bleed A LOT, which is NORMAL, because there are a lot of capillaries in them (small blood vessels). I'd use the Quik Stop to stop the bleeding, then, a little antibacterial ointment, a toddler sock and hopefully a bootie, of you have one. Should be fine, but DO keep an eye out for infection... (swelling, redness, pus, etc.) Good Luck! OUCH! DEE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sighthounds4me Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Naples hurt a toe once, and bled like that. I used LOTS of Quik Stop, and finally got the bleeding stopped. I almost resorted to super glue! But for Naples, I bandaged the foot loosely, just because the cut was in a spot that touched the ground, and I did not want it opening back up. For your girlie, I would do exactly what you did: get the bleeding stopped, clean it up, and apply EMT gel, then keep an eye on it. I should think she'll be just fine!

Guest RocketDog Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Both of ours have scuffed up their stop pads, and the most it ever required was a blip of antibacterial gel and some gauze, held on with vetwrap for a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
