My judy female had two of them the first one she had five stitches on the inside with 8 on the outside, the pad was cut from one end to the other (caused by a glass cut). It took a few weeks to heal before the stitches were removed. So you are looking at 1 1/2 to 2 months. hopefully he don't lick and bite it after you get it fixed up. you are more than likely going to have to put a e-collar on him so he can't bite at it. (I think thats what you call that collar). After it heals start putting tuff pad on it.

Once I had a dog that got clipped by the haybine, cut both tendons in its hind legs...I thought that was the end of her.

I laid her up in the barn, she licked, and licked, and licked....After 2 weeks she started walking around. For the rest of her life she would walk with all 4 but when she broke into a run she would just use her front 2.

Dogs have an amazing ability to heal and adapt.

I bet that pad will heal fine.

I don't know about Stiching it up- ?? I have seen the Infection from "Closing a Cut Pad" .. You just have to be very careful and Make sure it keeps clean .. If it starts to Swell "Cut the Stiches loose" It will take a little longer to heal when left open "If keeped clean and dry" JMO

Is that Gauge?? I don't think it will EVER heal. Best thing to do would be send him down here to me:-)) Really, I hope the injured hound has a speedy and complete recovery.

Looked to be a glass cut about 5/8" deep!

So far Gauge seems to be doing fine!! The vet clinic is to check him in 3 days to see if all is going ok. Remove the stiches in 14 days. The vet figured 4 to 6 weeks. I hope not!! Thanks, Danny G.

4 to 6

Just in time for the January thaw and maybe , just maybe some decent running since we got shut down early again this year , keep in touch Danny and Eric .

Posted by English Rule on 12-16-2008 07:48 AM:

This may sound ridiculous but

Pour some beer over it everyday for a week.

When I use to run deer dogs they were always getting tore up. This old man that hunted with us told me to do this. To my amazement it worked very well. I still do this today. And yes I finish what does not get poured onto the animal. Wouldn't want to get cited for wasteing alcohol.

Danny, find a place to keep him up off of the ground and put something bitter on the dressing to keep him from gnawing at the wrap. Had a dog that bad a few years back and had a time getting the dog to leave it alone. Use some blue lotion spray and later on pad tuff. Sorry but it could take a month or so to heal up enough to hunt.

Danny

Keep him out of the woods for about a month! This cut here happened 2 weeks before this and was just about healed up until she got into a hole and started digging... now im in the same boat as you... just waiting! and it sucks!

yeah that's what I thought too, but the vet just gave me some antibiotic and said to keep it clean and out of the woods for a couple of weeks. it seems to be healing up alright so far...
