Lloyd90 Posted November 4 Share Posted November 4 The concern is that there is something in his foot. Probably be hard to find now 🤔 any discharge etc? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
walshie Posted November 4 Share Posted November 4 If it hasn't healed after 2 weeks, there's something still in there and it's not going to heal without a vet checking it out properly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob85 Posted November 4 Share Posted November 4 If you can get at where the little hole is, get your fingers just beyond it and give it a bit of a squeeze to see if anything comes out, if you have some sort of splinter that's went in vertically your best hope is to use the squeeze pressure behind it to hopefully pop it up out, if you can dress the paw then all the better, a good drop of magnesium sulphate and then wrapped up should help draw out any rubbish that's in there.
