Dog Injured Paw


Ronnijade

Recommended Posts

My dog has hurt her paw somehow in the garden today. I?m not quite sure what she?s done to it but the bleeding looks like it?s coming from between her toes and she won?t let us get anywhere near the wound without biting us. She?ll be okay for tonight, but we were wondering if there?s any vets to take her to tomorrow? Anyone have any suggestions?

Hi Ronnijade,


I'm so sorry to hear about your pups paw! I hope she's not too distressed. Try to remain calm & keep her relaxed {you'll know what's best!} If she does decide to let you near her; asses the wound & if it's not bleeding, run it under tepid water to flush out any dirt that might have gotten into it, to prevent infection, & wrap a clean, dry bandage around the paw. If it's bleeding excessively, go straight for the clean, dry bandage & apply pressure to the area {in this case, I would call the vets immediately}.


Many vets are still open for emergency cases, whilst avoiding non-urgent cases & routine appointments {for both cat & dog owners, this does include neuturing, so do keep them close/indoors - particularly kittens - as it is that time of year!}


I would suggest contacting the vets you're registered with.


Kindest,

Heather {The Wingless Bird}

If she will let you, soak in tepid salt water.

She?s calm but feeling very sorry for herself. She?s in bed with my mum right now, but she still won?t let us do anything to the injury itself ? she never bites so she must be in a bit of pain because she keeps really trying to bite us any time we go to clean or bandage it. I?ve managed to spray some antiseptic that came with our (pet) medical kit, but for now it looks like we?ll just have to wait to take her to the vet tomorrow. We found an emergency clinic in Streatham that I?m going to call in the morning. Thanks for the advice guys!

Hey guys! Managed to spray some more antiseptic on her this morning, she?s got a bit of a limp but she?s okay. Just feeling very sorry for herself but she?s been spoilt with lots of cooked turkey this afternoon. We have an appointment for the vet tomorrow, hopefully they?ll be able to bandage her up and maybe give her some pain relief. We looked closer at the injury this morning and it?s only a small cut but it?s right between her toes and she can?t put any weight on her foot, so not a life changing injury by any means but definitely an aggravating one. Nala says thanks for all of the advice! <3

There is a possibility that a splinter or piece of glass has penetrated her foot so it is necessary to check closely and thoroughly.


The best way is for one person to hold her head securely whilst another bathes the foot and inspects it. If you have a muzzle, so much the better.


If you find a splinter or other foreign object then it's removal will give immediate relief and healing process will begin.

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
