Dog paws cut. What to do?

[Reel]

I took my dog to the dog park yesterday and she ran around and played a lot. Both of her front paws' pads are sliced a bit in the same spot. She walks on them tenderly and won't really run right now but she is still putting her weight on them. Is there something I should do like put hydrogen peroxide on there or wrap them?

Keep the cuts clean. I dunno if wrapping would do any good since she'd probably pull it off.

wrap them up in grocery bags or something...

You might want to think about a vet trip.

Super glue FTW.

seriously, I have used it on my dog several times!

If you have a properly sized plastic shield collar, you could treat the cuts and keep her from licking off the bandages. Otherwise, just keep her quiet and inside as much as possible.

a more imprtant question is what caused the cuts?

After being inside most of the winter an active romp at the dog park leaves Bacon's pads raw in some spots. I clean the cuts with some mild soap or hydrogen peroxide, dry and put a small sock on the paw. I usually use Transpore to tape the sock to keep it from sliding down his leg and to keep him from licking the raw spots.

Either this or Dermabond gets my vote.

The dog will clean it themselves. I wouldn't do anything unless it's really bad.

if its bad, clean it up with some peroxide and then glue it shut to prevent infection/more splitting.
