Salt Water

[cantona 310]

Does anyone salt water tree dogs feet after lamping or daytime running ? I have been told the old coursing men used to after a day .

i do mate evertime i get back from running i fill a bucket of hot water so i can stand my hand in it for 20 seconds then tip a good amount of salt in mix it up till salt has desolved then stand front feet in for 5 mins then wash round there wicks and nails and pads with my fingers and using my nails to scrape any dirt from round wicks and under nails then do same with back feet well worth the 10 mins in my opinion stops any infections even if im knackered when i get back always do without fail hope this helps and if they get any cuts or take stoppers off tip a bit of daz automatic into the salt water mix stings a bit but sorts it reight out better than anything you can get from vets belive me atb pp ps make sure it is the automatic 1 not the hand wash 1 as it has to have the blue crystals in it atb pp

salt water is really good for ardening up the skin, not just on feet but anywhere it gets rubbed or chafed. used to use it on the horses if they got a bit sore under the saddle or harness

Warm salt water with a dash of hibiscrub and use a toothbrush to clean round the nails does the trick
