Lightsiber Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Hi Nix A friend came round to look this morning. She's had the same with her dogs and she said it looks ok. Not infected and just needs time. She's recommended leaving it unbandaged for a while to get more air to it so I'm doing that now. She's lent me a proper boot and is bringing me some hibiscrub round later (she gets it from work). Haven't put a pic on as it's a little grubby at the minute due to walking on the back lawn, so I'll post a pic when I clean it up later. Thanks for your help. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erinc Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 I'm sure it will close up! Until last week, I had experienced small cuts with Luka - but after that bite, i'm so surprised with how quickly they heal! His puncture was so deep, about an inch long and a cm wide - it closed up fine and the scab should fall off in the next couple of days Just keep it clean and start on some antibiotics to ensure it doesn't get infected! Good luck Hope they both heal up quickly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightsiber Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 12 days on from when she cut it here is Maya's pad. It looks grubby, but I'd just bathed it and then she's walked over the lawn. I've kept it uncovered all the time and tried a shoe for walks although it's hard to keep it on. I was worried about it getting infected, but not had any issues despite it clearly not being perfectly clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BingBlaze n Skyla Posted August 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Is that her inside or outside pad? Maya's is the outside one on her right front leg. Outside left back leg looks inside cuz she was lying on her left side so I took the picture upside down lol Sent from my ST18i using Forum Runner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
