Cut Paw

Naomi · Cut Paw

My baby girl has cut her paw, she had two stitches put in today, she's not very happy at all!!!! Her walks can only be short. Anyone know how long it will take to heal? We've got to bring her back to the vets Saturday for a check up.

Poor baby is feeling very sorry for herself a fairy cake has cheered her up for a few minutes. Rolling Eyes

Give her Arnica Naomi, brilliant stuff, you can get pillules, cream and jell.
Should take a week to 10 days for it to heal over but you will need to be careful once the stitches are out that she doesn't start running on it on too hard a surface and make it open up again. Once they are out and it has healed over surgical spirit will harden the pad up if you put her foot in a little several times a day.

Thanks Jan,

The surgical spirits seems like a great idea. I'm hoping she'll be ok for crufts but will have to see nearer the time.

I have arnica for humans is it the same thing?

Naomi, sorry to hear about Cedar cutting her paw Sad

Hope it is sufficiently recovered for her to attend Crufts. Jans' advice sounds good, though I would add a different kind of spirit for yourself Wink

Hope to see you all there next Friday.

Best wishes, Lin.

Arnica is for humans, animals and any other form of life....including men Twisted Evil

Use the same amount, in the pillule form, as for humans...but do it quick as the sooner you get started the sooner it will work Exclamation

I don't recommend anything for men....just in case it works Exclamation

Did you hear about the daft woman who tried to poison her husband with antifreeze.....she should have used that jellyfish that is undetectable Rolling Eyes

Amazing what you can learn from watching wildlife programmes Twisted Evil

How did he not smell the anti-freeze? Well she has 30 years now to figure out where she went wrong!

Probaly difficult in curry but she put it into red wine as well. Perhaps he had had a few before that one Twisted Evil

Naomi, how did it go at the vets today Question

Naomi

Hi Lyn,

Thanks for asking, they took the bandgae of and are happy with the progress. She won't leave it alone so I had to put another bandage on and covered it with sock.

She has to go back to see them on Thursday but their optimistic of a recovery for crufts. She's a bit of a celeb at the vets now Embarassed

She's a monkey, licking all the staff and cuddling up to them. They love her down there.
