wounded paw - suggestions?

[Cinder & Smoke]

Ouwchie!!

Is the "flat" onna Front or Rear "Tyre"??

Fronts are harder to "patch" than rears!

My RB Shepherd/Husky "Shadow" broke a rear toe and had to wear
a "wrap" for weeks...
She managed to UN-wrap it several times

Start with sterile gause around and over the end of the paw -
several layers and not "too tight".
Then cover that completely with an "Ace" bandage or "Vet Wrap -
cover the paw Completely and continue up to just below the "Elbow".
NO fur showing - cover it all with at least two layers.
Top Layer is wide "stickly" tape - again cover everything including
a half inch or so of fur - to hold it "up".

And after the third UN-wrap - I bagan adding a Fourth Layer -
Duct Tape!
Not mentioned in most First Aid manuals - but the Ducky Tape held
up better than regular surgical sticky tape.

In "wet weather" - I added a ZipLok baggie secured with a rubber band.
The rubber band ONLY stayed on a few minutes for an outie -
not long enough to effect the circulation.
