boody foot pad
Ouchie, my Mister Beasley goes outside and gets rough. Whenever he spends alot of time playing outdoors he gets one foot (in particular) that gets a bit bloody. Nothing seems to be in it though. I had his last summer and the doctor thought maybe he got a splinter in his foot but did not. And he is not limping but he IS licking it. And does not like me to touch it. But I did and washed it and because he is white it is hard to see beyond the red hair now. But all seems to look ok. What do you do? I put some animed on him which is a animal anitbiotic but wonder what you do if your dog Or does your Westie/Cairn get bloody paws at all? HELP!

Re: boody foot pad
Do you walk him regularly on harder ground so that his pads are tough ? It sounds like they're too soft....people here from the States use something called Bag Balm for their feet.

Re: boody foot pad
Hi,thanks for answering my question. He goes outside and plays in the yard. If he is outside too long sometimes he gets a cut or irritation between his toes in the soft tissue area. He chases the squirrels and he runs around on the cement area of the yard also. I went out and got some saline and I used the last of the animax from my vet.But he does this pretty often. Wonder if he would tolerate booties. Thanks for the suggestion.

Re: boody foot pad
Try the other stuff first. It's made for horses, I believe.

Re: boody foot pad
It's for cows' udders -- hence "bag" balm!

Re: boody foot pad
Wonder if Bag Balm would help heal his pads? Might not hurt to try. I think you get it at a drug store...
