Not a day later. It could be glass or shit in there and it swelled up inside 24 hours later which caused her to go lame on it. But it's just a guess. Could be anything really mate. Quote Link to post

Somewhereyournot 1,117 Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 Probably still sore or tight? I cut my foot before and even after it healed it was still tight n abit uncomfortable 1 Quote Link to post

desertbred 5,490 Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 (edited) You say the foot is warm, is it swollen? most cuts heal from the bottom up so will take time for her to get over a bit of discomfort. .Most dogs are hard as nails while working but can make a drama when not Edited August 5, 2016 by desertbred Quote Link to post
stealthy1 3,964 Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 Some lurchers do limp for a while after a good cut. The get used to limping for a while and carry on with it after it heals, best thing to do to see if it is glass, is walk the dog on the lead for a few miles, don't let it off the lead, the idea is to get the dog walking properly while it has it mind on other things, like being let off the lead. If it still limps when you get back, then there may be something left in the pad. Try this for a couple of days and see how you go, I wouldn't let the dog off the lead until you know for sure.
