scent 509 Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 right folks i went out to scrub the runs an hour ago an noticed my 9 week old lurcher pup holding up his back leg .On further inspection i saw that his four pads are bleedeing,no cuts to be seen so im thinking they are burnt in some way.Now i havent been using chemicals when cleaning the runs just water.Can other dogs piss burn em.Iv scrubbed the runs pit down woos chippings to keep the run dry and put aluspray (the siver stuff)on him .Is this enough and does anyone have an idea on what caused this?

scent 509 Posted September 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 thats a strange one kid and has me beat... hope you get to the bottom of it so do i id say something if it was one pad but all 4? long time ago, I had a similar thing happen to a pup. I took him to the vets because I couldnt work out why it was, but the vet didnt know what had caused it, just said it was a reaction. The vet did give him something for it but it was so long ago I cant remember, I do remeber standing him in clean running water too, that seemed to help with the irritation ... sorry not much help. sound pal any help appreciated Quote Link to post
T78 4 Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 has he not been in the runs long? i had one pup out of my last litter do this when i put them outside in the run. i thought it was just sore feet due to being off shavings and on to concrete. Quote Link to post
