I have a big nasty cut on the pad of my back foot. We are not too sure where it came from but it is pretty deep. It doesn't bleed all the time but just sometimes. That is how Mom and Dad found it. Mom cleaned it up real good with the help of Dad and is keeping ointment on it. Now I have to wear a silly stupid sock that Mom taped to my foot to keep me from licking the boo-boo medicine off it and hopefully protect it to allow it to heal. The sock makes me walk funny and I am on play restrictions. I know the others are laughing at me behind my back but Mom says she doesn't care. I have to wear it to get better. I am not allowed to chew at it and I am not allowed outside with Dixie and Conga (Conga is a house guest) when they are playing. I really hate this!
Mom says it looks pretty good and doesn't appear to be infected. She thinks she can nurse it herself without having to take me on a trip to the vet. She is picking up gauze bandage to wrap it up tonight and than put the sock over that. Hopefully that will help keep it from continuing to open up and bleed. She is open to any other suggestions anyone might have. Mom was wondering if that sugical "super glue" that they have used on her before in the ER is available over the counter. She thought if she could find it at the drug store she might try that. Does anyone know if/where you can get it? We will keep you posted on my progess.
Please send some puppy prayers for my speedy recovery. I am already tired of being on restrictions.
Thanks!!!!
