Sore Pads

[Rik 49]

This may sound like shit guys/gals but I was in the Breckon Beacons last week doing some walking along with my dogs and we put a lot of miles in,poor little lad his pads are really sore, he's trying not to put any weight on them,any tips on what I can put on them to ease the soreness

rest is best, you could always try something like "bag balm" or "udder butter" for cows teats, but most dogs just lick it off and they run it all around their kennel or your house so I don't think it ends up doing much good.

Not sure, but alum, used for shaving, also toughens, but makes them supple as well.

bath them in salt water

Use 'Surgical Spirit' and soak for two minutes four times a day.

i wouldnt Bath him in salt water but i would use a salt water solution and wipe his/hers paws down a few times a day, along with a few days of rest!

Pottasium permanganate a teaspoon full in 2 pints of warm water will do the trick also sooths your own hands if scratched and blisterd wile clearing cover [bANNED TEXT] ferreting though it does stain them a nicotene coulour.
