fimckenzie is on a distinguished road
grazed paw

Hi, Kenzi was limping the other day when on gravel and we found a small spot on her rear paw pad. It has since got bigger (no doubt with running about etc) and is now bleeding now and again. We have cleaned it and put a bit of germoline on it and a sock. Could we try spray antiseptic plaster (I see they are selling it for dogs and horses online will it be the same as ours?).
The other thought was dab tea tree oil on as a natural healer and also will stop her licking it?
Any advice - please.
Thanks

I would stand her in a little white vinegar, its a great antiseptic, I wouldnt use the plaster, it would be far better to let the air get to it,... but the sock is a good idea just to stop her licking it,... paws almost always heal quick
