He won't put weight on the paw, whine and act very depress. When the bandage comes off he walk just fine but the cut reopens. I don't think that the vet warp is too tight. ( no swelling of the leg) and I am being careful. He is muzled unless I can see him as he is very good at removing the warp. He also does not like boots in winter but will walk (barely) with them on. Any idea of how to get him to move a bit, I can't even take him for a walk has he hop on 3 legs and do the whole miserable dog show. Lucifer!

I don't think it will last for long walks because dogs are pretty tough on their paws, but it might work if you reapply multiple times a day. The other thing that I did when one of my dogs cut his paws really bad, was to vet wrap the paw then put his winter booties on ALL of his feet, this seemed to take away the attention from the one foot. Also, put them on right before feeding time and do some marker training with him. See if you can get him to forget about them long enough to not even notice them when the session is over.

Ariane Gauthier Webboard User Reg: 11-23-2010 Posts: 817 Loc: St-Lazare, Qc Offline	Thanks for the ideas. i will try to boot the other paw. I don't mind limping but he does not want to put it down at all. And the sound he makes. I check to make sure that there was nothing in the cut. Lucifer!
