OW! Kiara split her pads.

It's not hanging judging from the picture so I would clean it and wrap it for a while and let it heal. My dogs have done it before, I only cut it off if it's hanging and if not then I clean it and wrap it for a day. After that I remove the bandage and clean it often. This is what my old vet reccomended.

Uh-huh, I agree with Sarah.

Ouch Kiara! Get well soon!

My dogs' pads grew back normally but they have very rough pads.

If she does this occasionally, invest in some booties. I keep a set around because Star has injured her pads several times. Then you don't have to worry about her ripping it off or stepping into yucky stuff & getting it infected. (I got mine at dogbooties.com: very reasonable. Some pet stores carry them.)
Get better soon, KI!
