Good Health and Limping Dog Checklist (part III): Foot Pads. Elvonda

Look for injury to the foot pads. 

If bleeding, soak foot in warm very mildly soapy water for a few minutes, then apply direct pressure with a clean cloth for 10 minutes. No peeking, no wiping, no tight bandages.

A small laceration to the foot pad is usually just allowed to heal. A deep laceration (full skin thickness) usually requires and antibiotic and protection from further trauma (I like a panti liner - absorbs small amounts of blood and is super cheap) and a sock. Change at least twice a day.

Please call your vet if the wound is deep.

Charlie found a stray surgical staple.

Cookie's foot found a piece of glass in the bush.

All penetrating wounds need veterinary assistance for an antibiotic and in some cases exploration to make sure nothing internal is damaged.
