Injured paw pads HELP! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

vcabbyw · 02-15-2006, 07:54 PM

Turbie and I went on a very long walk today, and I just noticed her front paw pads are VERY swollen. Ive inspected them, I dont see any blood, its just irritated, red and swollen.

Im about to go out the door to head off to Petco to pick up an E-Collar so she won't lick.

Is there ANYTHING I can to keep her comfortable til the morning? I dont have any pain killers (except low dose aspirin) or any other doggie meds. Would a benedryl help? Or would aspirin help? Or should I call the E-vet?

I feel so bad for my little baby

Breaks my heart.

Were you walking in snow or perhaps salt?

I'm sure you washed her little paws.

It sounds like she stepped in something irritating. Poor Thing.

The ground in some spots has ice all the bike paths we were on didnt. I dont know if she stepped in anything? In the past 3 days shes walked a good 10 miles so Im sure that is what is causing the swelling.

My E Vet said to use an Ecollar, baby aspirin, a foot soak, and keep her quiet. If it doesnt go away in 2 days we need to go see our Vet.

Looks like Turbie will be wearing booties for longer walks now

Now I must excuse myself to help the poor baby adjust to wearing this goofy e-collar....
