She was walking normally but when I got back to the car, I noticed that she was leaving smudges of blood on the ground behind her. She had an obvious cut on the front of her back right foot – 1cm wide, around 5mm deep. A cut pad needs to be bandaged to protect the wound. The big challenge with dogs is that they tend to remove dressings, and so they have to be attached as securely as possible. The cut pad will probably take about 10 days to heal fully. So the job is now done: it looks comfortable and secure. We need to keep it dry now, and will probably change it every 3 – 4 days if it stays on.
