Gabby can't walk...NEED HELP! I went away with the furbabies this weekend. My cousin has a inground pool and Gabby was having the time of her life. She ran so much around the pool for hours and I didn't even think that the concrete was going to hurt her little feet. Her paws are raw...I feel so bad for her because she can't walk. I have to pick her up to go potty and bring food & water to her. She really doesn't have an appetite either..I guess because she's in pain. I've been giving her nutrical just in case. Have any experienced this before? What can I do to make her feel a little better until I take her to the vet tomorrow. I feel so horrible right now that I'm crying because I do not know what to do for her. |
:(:(:(:( ouch !! poor baby ! Try some triple antibiotic ointment - they have some that help with pain and I'd just do what you're doing - carry her around.....but watch for infection - I worry about that too walking my girls on the sidewalks where I live....I don't know what to tell you cept maybe she needs water shoes for the next time ? (or little baby socks ?) Good luck....I hope she feels better soon |
Gloria, I am so sorry that Gabby's little feet are so sore. She must have been having such a wonderful time. I don't have any advice but wanted you to know I am sending prayers. |

Thanks V I feel so horrible. I didn't even think that the concrete was going to do that to her little paws. I just called our local emergency vet and they told me the same thing....don't let her walk, and wrap her paws which I already did. I also went to CVS and bought the antibiotic ointment that helps with pain too. I'm such a bad mommy:( Do you know where can I find water shoes? |

She was having the time of her life. I don't think she's ever been swimming because of how she was running and playing and enjoying herself. |
For now you can use New-Skin on her feet. It's a liquid bandage that works well. The first application stings a little but after you have a layer on it doesn't hurt any more. Good luck! |
Gosh. Bella and I were in the pool today I didnt even THINK about the concrete~ Sorry your baby is sore..but thanks for posting this! |

She's been licking her paws. Should I also gauze them if I apply the new skin on her feet? |

Lesson learned for me. To top it off when I called the emergency vet...the rude vet was like well keep her away from the pool....she said yorkies do not need to swim. Talking about I wanted to strangle the woman over the phone. She made me feel even worse. |
How do you get the new skin off? I dont think I would put that on if it is like some kind of rubber stuff. I would just wrap her feet if she keeps licking them. |

It depends on if yousee blood or just raw being the pads (thick) area are (abrasion type of or the first layer of skin rubbed off) bag balm might help and I don't think it has anything that is poisonous? I haven't looked at the ingredients for awhile and I don't know were the jar I have is. |

I would put the ointment on and wrap her feet in that gauze wrap or if you can make little socks out of a glove or something. I bet by morning she will feel better. Don't feel bad you had no idea. She will be much better after keeping off her paws for awhile and the ointment. |
Thanks everyone. Now she's licking her paws and the gauze was soak and wet so I had to remove it and now waiting until her paws dry. I feel so helpless..:( |
awww....the poor baby! I hope she's feeling better soon! |
I would also use Neosporin. But what to do to keep her from licking her paws...even gauze won't stop that. I like the idea of cutting the fingers off a glove and pulling them up over her legs. How about that colorful wrap they use on horses? It sticks to itself, so it shouldn't hurt her or pull her hair...I think that would work great!!! Don't feel bad, how could you have possibly known...we live...we learn...right? |
Hoping Gabbie's little paws are better this morning and you are able to update. God Bless her. |
aw i'm sorry gabby hurt her little paws. My friends dog did this too a few times. they get so excited when people are in the pool. if there is grass near by the pool i would get a tether and put her there so she can't run circles around the pool. as for her feet now, are there any cuts or deep abrasions on her pads or in between them? if so then you should get that treated by the vet. if its minor then put neosporin on her and get an e-collar so she can't get to her vet. that's the only way to keep her away from them if she's that determined to lick at them. sorry. |

How are you? She has not cuts that I can see. There wasn't blood on the gauze either. I'm going to call my vet today to see if he wants to see her. She was feeling alot better this morning. |

Thank you! I could tell that she was feeling better this morning. |
Know whats weird is that I just posted the SAME thing almost on the General discussion website. My baby has 2 bleeding toes from his nails being filed down to nothing and his pads on his other foot are rubbed down also. They are not raw, I think I caught it in time but my poor baby! I put vaseline on his pads and his toes to stop the bleeding and ease the rawness, we wrapped his foot in cotton gauze and secured it with rubbed bands pretty loosely. I did find these bootie things online that I think Im going to buy and try for my boys! Yesterday I kept them in most of the day since this pad/paw fiasco on saturday. Clean Run: Pawz Protective Dog Boots I hope your baby girl gets better quick! who would have thought that their paws were THAT delicate! Now we know huh? :) |

I'm doing well. I got a new poodle puppy a month ago and her and morgan are having a blast together. How have you been? What did the vet say today? |
Quote:
im sorry your baby hurt her lil paws, so badly! :( but at least she had a blast while doing it! ;) poor baby! xoxo. :hug: |
ahhh poor Gabby, I'm sorry she's in pain, but I'm glad she's feeling a little better today. Did you take her to the vet or is she feeling a lot better now? |
Here's a good suggestion to avoid paw pad injuries Sorry to hear about your little Yorkies sore feet. I think that the vet may suggest an antibiotic to prevent infection.... I would make an appointment just to make sure. (and for peace of mind.... It would be bad to an infection there! :( ) Hope everything heals quickly! We use Excel Paw Wax on Shelby & Seymour when we camp. (and sometimes here at home, too) It is a wax that you apply to the pads of their feet and it protects them. You can get it at Petsmart (online, also). Here is a description of Excel Paw Wax:/Protects and conditions dog's paws all year round. Helps prevent paw damage from gravel, asphalt, ice, snow, salt-treated roads, hot pavement, and all hard surfaces. Also provides grip on slippery surfaces. Ingredients: White oil, paraffin wax, rosin, silicon dioxide, perfume. |

AWWW so sorry about your baby:( I never would have thought this would happen...but just like you said....now we know. I hope your baby feels better soon. I came home from work today and could see her paws already healing...she's doing much better now. My vet recommened to wash her paws with antibacterial soap which I have been doing and I also applied neosporin and it seems to work. Thanks for the link...I am definately going to buy this for all three. |

Oh you did! How exciting! Do you have pics of her? Called the vet and they said to keep her little paws cleaned using antibacterial soap and to apply neosporin as needed. She's doing much better today...thank goodness! I think I was hurting more than she was. |
Quote:
Oh yeah she had the time of her life. I don't think she's ever had that much fun in her life...I think she's never been around water by the way she was acting. I loaded pics in the public album. I have a video too but need to figure out how to load it...you'll see then how much fun she had. |
