So my dog and Imanaged to trip over the same curb at the hotel this weekend (this was kindly caught on video...it was rather hilarious)...I got a rolled ankle, he got a scraped paw pad. It sort of pealed a bit of the pad back a little.
I cleaned the wound and now it's about a day or so after and there is nice healthy new skin under the flap of skin and he's not favoring it today in the slightest and will let him pick it up to check on it. I'm a little concerned the now dead and dry flap of pawpad that was scraped off will get caught on something and rip off (possibly reopening or iritatting the injury. Should I cut this little flap off? How should I go about doing this?
Trim it back little by little, not all at once. Trim off the outer bit as it dries up. You do not want to get it any kind of "sore" as "licking paw obsession" is a bad outcome of this type of thing.
If it's not very big I'd leave it absolutely alone.
Keep him out of puddles and icky dirty places until the new part is looking like it is well on its way to normal pad.
