What more then likely caused it was salt on the walkways. I know PEI doesn't salt their roads, but some salt their own walkways. Or she could have gotten her paw too cold & it got hurt in the snow/ice.

How to treat it & have fun too.

I love first aid & Max was always good to work on.

1. soak her paw in warm water & gently wah it with the warm water & ur bare hands (no soap). try to soak it for 5 mins if u can.

2. make her laydown to keep her off her paw, so it wont get dirty.

3. put lots of polysporn on it & all around it.

4. put a sterial(sp) bandage cloth all around her paw & up her leg a bit.

5. get one of ur socks & tape it to her leg with sergical tape. Make sure u leave about 2-3 inches of slack at her toes.

6. optional. put a 2ed sock onto her leg to help reduce dirt from getting in when shes outside. Mke sure the tape is on tight at the top of the sock & in 2 other places to make sureit doesn't fall off or move around too much.
