Poor Charlie

[melanie]

poor charlie has cut his pad very badley on glass i think took him to the vets and she stapled the cut together yuck!! she put a lovely dressing on which lasted 5 mins when we got home, any ideas on keeping a dressing on a 6 month old puppy, with an 11 month old puppy aslo 'helping' to take it off :lol: i put a sock on and he pulled it straight off and chucked it out of his bed (w00t) is it safe to leave it with nothing on :unsure: our garden is all paved and gravel so it is cleaner then grass, any advice

teena i promise i will ring you about ringcraft nextweek :b :thumbsup:

hi mel :thumbsup: poor charlie not much advice as i am haveing same problem with harvey he has one due claw still left on and cut a nice hole in his other leg with it . it

is scabbing but every time he and lola play fight he knocks the scab off . so with oh working at the hospictal he has got me some micropore which is doing the trick . so that might work but ask your vet first if its ok to use . harvey has managed to get all the other stuff off that i have tryed but not this

I had a Border Collie pup with a torn pad and was given strict orders by his breeder that I should not let the vet stitch the pad as they never stay covered and/or stitched. Just bathed his pad in salty water for 10 days and you wouldn't know there had ever been a problem - main points are to keep it clean and dry and the less there is on the foot to worry the dog the better. Hope this helps.
