I find Polysporn helps a lot on infected paws.

Soak the paw in warm water. Dry the paw off witha clean towel, don't let her use it. Put LOTS of polysporn on the infected area. Put proper gauze on it, wrap it & use proper gause/first aid tape. Put a loose sock on that leg (up to the elbow), use the gause/first aid tape to tape it to the leg. Then to the same thing with a 2ed sock thats even looser then the first one.

The 2ed sock is ment to be changed easly when dirty & the first sock makes sure the gause stayes clean.

Change the gause & polysporn twice a day until it starts to get better, once the infection in controled & is only a little red & raw, then change it once a day.

If the dog keeps trying to chew on the socks, get a cone. Its better then loosing the toe.

Thanks King2005, We did wrap it in gauze with Neosporin (?) and then put a wrap around it. We will definately try what you described, thank you!

Not a problem, I have a funny looking example I'll post. Many have lol at it & said it worked VERY well.

I had to use it ALL the time with my old guy, his paws were horrible during the winter months.

see isn't it silly looking
