Answer 1

because dogs have not the same sense as we human they may feel pain but they doesn't appear that because they cant yell and say we r in pain
so take Ur dog to the doctor to check its pads

Answer 2

I agree with the others so far. If there is no blood and if there seems to be no pain, then it's likely okay to "watch closely." Freshly cut pads won't necessarily bleed, however.

Although pads are very much like callouses and protect the rest of the dog's foot when walking, when they are cut it is very painful, and you'll likely notice the pain -- the dog won't put the foot down to walk and will "tiptoe," and he'll probably lick it a lot. He may even whine some. But, dogs can be in pain and NOT show those symptoms, so watch closely.

When a pad is cut or cracked there isn't a lot to do for it. Bandages won't stay on, and stitches aren't a realistic option. Bacterial infection getting in would be the biggest immediate danger, so keeping it washed as much as possible is the first line of defense. Keep the dog out of mud and off grass and other possibly contaminated surfaces. If you want to apply an antibacterial spray made for dogs, it won't hurt. Always check with your vet if you have questions about safety.

Cracked pads are very common, but I wouldn't say it's completely "normal." Any time the body's surface is altered, it isn't "normal." But unless it is a problem with your dog, many vets will recommend you do nothing. There are over-the-counter products that can be used to make the pads more pliable and less prone to cracking. The few times I've felt the need to use anything, I've used Bag Balm, but I think there are products now made especially for the pads. It won't hurt the dog if he licks, but many won't because it tastes nasty. Again, I'd recommend you check with your vet before using anything, just to make sure he or she is agreeable. And if your dog continually licks off creams, you'd probably be better off doing nothing.

Hope that helps a bit.

Answer 3

I have the same problem with my dogs when the seasons change. A good thing to do is to first wash the pads then put a little vasoline or polysporin on it (preferably at night) and cover it with a sock so that the dog cant lick it off. Do this for a few days and keep her activities limited to softer areas like grass and it should clear up soon.

Answer 4

Well I work in a dog boarding facility and we see that all the time... some dogs do it to themselves! Like everyone else seems to be saying as long as they aren't bleeding she should be fine. There are creams you can buy at the pet store to help restore the pad or you can put some vasiline on them.

Hope she feels better soon!

Answer 5

even if it remains bleeding very heavily then he might want to need stitches, and which couldn't wait until eventually day after today, i'm afraid. notwithstanding, if the bleeding has stopped, washing it very heavily to flush out airborne dirt and mud and any overseas merchandise might want to be ok - yet note that you'll start the bleeding off back. do not positioned a cotton ball adversarial to it - the fibres receives stuck in the scab and could pull off any therapeutic that takes position. Use a sterile non-adhesive pad rather, and wrap it in position with a bandage or fabric strip. Ducktape might want to paintings properly - yet do not do it too tight or you would possibly want to diminish off the move to his foot. Then take him to the vet day after today. If the bleeding persists notwithstanding - you would possibly want to get him seen as we talk, however if it ability emergency vet expenditures - in spite of each and every thing, how a lot is your dogs well worth to you?

Answer 6

How badly did she cut them? It sounds more like the normal splits that happen on a dogs pads if they are not bleeding and cause no pain.
Frankly, sounds like things are just fine to me but if you are really worried, you can take her to a vet.

Answer 7

My dog had cut his pad on glass one time, and I went through all this effort to try to wrap it - fruitless! He took the bandages right off, and took care of the cut himself! lol. If it's not bleeding, don't worry, but keep an eye on it.

Answer 8

Put a little neosporin on them, she'll be fine. The first time this happened to one of my dogs I took them to the vet in a panic. My Vet told me it happens to just about every dog at some point in their lives, and it'll heal fine on their own.

Answer 9

if no bleeding . no worry! Let her take care by licking them. Just keep an eye on them for awhile.

Answer 10

If you got the money and time you take it to the vet and have it check out to be sure everything is OK.
