Squirrel_Basher 17,102 Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 The pad is an awkward place for an injury as the blood supply to extremities is sometimes not as good as the rest of the body .You will need to bind this up if you are to take the dog on any sort of excercise as it will open and allow the intrusion of dirt and therefore possible infection .The dressing will need changing after every walk too .The good news is the excercise will stimulate the blood supply .Good luck.
