Chance is sat in her bed and appears in a grump. She has had the weekend at the kennels and when I came home (o/h collected her) she was in great spirits. We went out for a run and she kept up as usual. I thought her grump was that she wasn't too pleased with me for kenneling her!!!!

Just now I've tried to stroke her and she was distant with me and just licked her paws. On closer inspection I saw her carpal pads are both injured. The left one is 'grazed' and the right is actually split.

Bit worried whether she has done this whilst out running (Stopping quickly etc) or if it is as a result of jumping at the rails in the kennels?

I'm going to clean them with salty water and keep her on cleaner walks for the next few days but is there anything else I should know or do?

Is it necessary to visit the vet for this?

hi hun

Vet can#t do much Misty did this not so long ago

Warm salt water washes. Keep it clean and dry ( i was adviced NOT to walk misty until it had healed)

Savlon cream to help kill anyhting that maybe present.

Good luck

Thanks for the replies - They don't appear to have bled and they are now just kinda raw looking.

I'll keep her on short 'clean walks' and use the occasional dusting of antibacteria powder I bought the last time she cut her paw!

Her nose is still nice and moist and she just jumped up when she heard the fridge door open - She obviously isn't suffering too badly!!!

My little j r terrier cut his foot once. I bathed it in salt water put a small bandage around it and then placed a babys sock over his foot. It helped provide a bit of extra padding for his sore foot until it had healed.

have you seen this - i only posted it a day ago
