Skinned Paw Pads

[MafiaPrincess]

I found Kayla's thread about cracked pads.. There was advice to soak them..

I'm borrowing Kaiden for a week.. and I never thought about the fact that he doesn't play on pavement normally. He skinned both 'wrist' pads on his front legs playing ball in the tennis court. Had a blast never acted hurt..

He was licking them and I realized what had happened..

I feel really bad.. I found cream for cracked and irritated pads (that I won ages ago) and vet wrapped on top of them..

He was above average unhappy.. usually he is really easy going.. so it has to hurt a lot for him to vocalize his displeasure. He seems more content with them covered, and isn't bothering them.

Short of soaking them and keeping them protected is there more I can do for him? He really hated the wrapping so I don't want to have to remove and rewrap constantly. It stressed him some.

Have him for less than a day and I broke him

Oh, and I might have found some groundhogs nearby for us to hunt....hehehe
