Souraya, you should have called or emailed me!! Duncan has cut his pads more than any other dog I swear!


Soak it in Epsom Salts and warm water for 5 minutes every day. The vet told me to keep it covered when he was outside. I took a sturdy plastic bag, thick plastic, actually an old IV bag and thread string through the top. Then I would tie that on to his foot when we went outside. It didn't stay on long so I would wipe it off with a warm washcloth every time he came in. He hated the whole deal of course but it healed very well and quickly. I also put some triple antiobiotic on it at night before we fell asleep. He was usually too tired to lick too much and if he did I was right there to distract him and stop him. It took about 2 weeks total to start looking better. In fact, he limped on it for almost 2 weeks also! The vet said I would see white granules forming on the pad and that meant it was healing.

He should be fine! So stop worrying!! I spent $$$ in vet bills for them to tell me what I just told you! You're a great mom to Drake so I know you will be very conscientious and he will be fine!!
