diglesias0625 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I had my greyhounds corn removed from his paw including as much of the root the vet can get. It has been 3 weeks but he is still limping as if though he never had it done. I did notice that he had to remove some of pad so he has a thin strip for a pad. Will his toe ever toughen on the bottom or his pad grow back? I also did some research and they say that Vetericyn will help his pad heal. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

greysmom Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Unfortunately, corn removal surgery is very rarely curative. The pad takes a long time to heal, and the corn will come back. Any highly moisturizing cream will help his pads. Soak his foot in an Epsom salt solution (or soak a wash cloth and wrap around his foot, followed by a plastic bag), then moisturize, then put a baby or toddler sock on overnight. He should also be wearing a protective boot when out for walks on hard ground. If you are on Facebook there's a very good group called "Greyhounds With Corns" that has a ton of information and support, including on a newly created surgical treatment that is having good results eliminating corns from their source. There is a link in the last corn thread on this page.

Hubcitypam Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Never ever will do surgery again, Duct tape worked wonders for Rex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
