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.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
