Alaskan Malamute Discussions / Paw pad Injury & Recovery
« on: November 25, 2006, 06:21:28 pm »
Hi Guys,
My little husky Mika injured her paw pad the other day on one of her frantic 100mph runs around the woods where we go. She seems to have stood on a sharp object and it has sheared a slice of her pad. Now she does limp sometimes but does not wimper and I took her out this morning for a little while mainly on grass to check it out and whilst she was fine, when I inspected her pad, it had worn a little hole and was slighlty bleeding, although she was fine!
What should I do here; should I keep her from running about for a few days/ week or so until this heals as my worry is that it may get furtherd damaged by her running around.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Craig.
