Hurt paw – am I treating it right?

[Anonymous]

Loki has hurt his paw  ::)

Bless him – he must have cut it on something as he has managed to sort of half gouge out a flap of his left front pad – right a the ‘heel’ of the big pad if that makes sense.

He did it yesterday

So I washed it in salt water, there wasn’t any blood…  but the flap is sore and he is limping badly…

I then put a pad of animalintex (dry) over the hurt bit and bandaged it with vetwrap.  He hasn’t been talking to me since  ::)

Anyway – I took that off last night and washed it again in warm salt water – then *this bit am not sure about* I superglued the flap down, just at the top, which seems to have got it back in place  :-\

Then put animalintex and vetwrap as before.

Is this right? Anything else I can do for it? Or will he need the vet?

He SO not speaking to me  😀

I been all businesslike with him – Leon was doing the ‘oh poor puppy routune’ – till I told him not to re-inforce it – by this point loki was shaking as I washed his paw – he is not a brave dog  ::)

I came down this morning and he sulked past me as if I was going to beat him  :'(

Should I be keeping walking time minimal? Since yesterday I’ve only taken him for loo visits…

poor loki  :-*

nooch is in same situation after a skinned leg – still treating it = wee sod was licky licky when I left room – now I am not keeping the dressing off to harden the skin a bit – I am cleaning it daily and dressing it and will do so until it is fully healed

He is walking like tripod dog and it isnt even his pad – but others have been reinforcing his “poorly paw”  ::)  Yip pain but he will live  :-*  :-*

Oh poor Nooch  :-*

Loki is being rubbish with the bandage – he chewed it off this morning…  and the flap of pad came off  ::) So he now has a ‘hole’ not deep – but still….

I had to re-glue a new bit of broken pad…

Maybe he needs a lampshade to stop him getting at it  :-\

[*Nat*]

Tie a rolled up towel round his neck Sarah, better than a lampshade  🙂

[kizkiznobite]

you could use some dissolving tape…like in the nail kits….and yep a towel
