Dog meat pads
Dog meat pads are always in contact with the road when going out, especially those of small children. Dogs often get injured when they go outside for a run because the skin on the meat pad is too tender. Today, the editor will explain to you how to deal with dog foot injuries. Parents, please come and learn about it.
1. Broken nails of dogs
Dog’s nails have not been cut for too long, which makes the nails too long, and the nails often break. If you find that your dog is lame, check carefully to see if the nails are broken. If you find broken nails, cut them off with nail clippers as soon as possible.
If the broken nail cannot or is difficult to remove, and if the broken nail is dirty and has many structures exposed, you should ask a veterinarian for treatment to avoid bacterial infection. When a dog's nail is broken, there is usually no bleeding or only a small amount of blood. If there is more than one bleeding, a compression bandage can be used to wrap the toe for 12 to 24 hours. If bleeding is severe, a compression bandage can be used to wrap the toe for 12 to 24 hours.
2. Blisters caused by scratching on the meat pads
Blisters on the meat pads or skin loss will cause the dog's soles to become easily irritated. The dog will have significant lameness. When you look at it, you will find that the skin is open and part of it is still connected to the meat pad, showing the structure.
Cut off the exposed skin and completely remove the dirt from the wound. The best way to deal with this kind of trauma is to let the dog rest until the wound heals. It takes about two weeks. If the subcutaneous tissue is exposed over a wide area and there is bleeding, the wound should be cleaned with an antiseptic such as betadine first, and then a bandage should be applied after it dries.
If the dog needs to walk for a long time, the wound must be wrapped with a bandage to prevent it from coming into contact with the soil to avoid secondary damage and pain.
3. Dog foot pad cuts
If the dog is accidentally cut with a sharp object and causes a lot of bleeding, parents should take the dog back home and press it with cotton. Hold the bleeding wound for about a minute. If it is a small wound, check to see if there is any foreign matter in the wound after the bleeding has stopped. If so, remove it immediately and clean the wound with Betadine, let it dry, and wrap it with a bandage to prevent dirt from entering.
If the foot pad is deeply cut, it will often cause a lot of bleeding. Veterinarians should provide dry sutures to promote wound healing and avoid excessive bleeding.
