Yellow Bear Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 You can get boots quite cheap from amazon but they tend to fall off - we overcame this by holding them on with cohesive bandage (expensive from vet but cheap in Wilco) holds on the boot but does not stick to fur.

malmick Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) Good suggestion daveboy, here you go. I did put a boot over it when we took him out but more recently I've found vet's wrap does the job better (over the condom).

Yellow Bear Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 vet's wrap - otherwise known as cohesive bandage - as said a quarter the price in Wilco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinw Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 Good to your doctors or maybe local chemist and try to get some empty saline drip bags. There are made of thick plastic. That’s what I use with my springer for walks when they injured their feet Also try the vets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old farrier Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 Use vet wrap!!! Dont forget to put cotton wool between the dogs toes short term plastic bag over vet wrap for a bit of gentle exercise cut the corner off it’ll fit well no tape above the wrap not good for the plastic bag to be on all day makes the foot sweaty and a breeding ground for infection hope it gets better soon all the best of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 Could you maybe fashion a boot from a BMX cycle inner tube? Glue the tube together one end then hold it in place with tape? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vet gave me a couple when my one cut her paw. They are re-usable despite saying disposable. They rip eventually but lasted us ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
