luv2napp Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Lacee seems to have a problem with her pads. Everytime I take her to a park to play ball, she ALWAYS comes home limping with cut pads. It takes her days to recover. A few years ago when we had a back yard, she was always playing and never had this problem. I don't understand why it's happening now. How am I supposed to play with her, when I know she's going to end up hurting at the end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TheRuffMuttGang Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Is she really cutting the pads or just "skinning" them, where they are either raw or have a flap hanging off of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luv2napp Posted September 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 They actually have flaps hanging off. Poor thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TheRuffMuttGang Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 That's not cuts, that's just from running so hard on either rough and/or hard ground. My dogs rarely do that anymore because they are like our feet--they build up callouses and a resistance to tearing if you just keep taking them (after they heal of course). I bet she just does not run as hard in your yard or your grass is softer or your ground more moist (hence softer) than the park. Let her feet heal (maybe I am mean but I give 1 wk max) and then take her back. Eventually she ought to quit tearing her feet up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luv2napp Posted September 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Thanks.....I'll do that. It's just so pitiful watching her limp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bo Peep Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 I had the flaps too. Usher still keeps going and doing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tualizzy Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 Jak used to wear down his pads as well.... we started using a product called "Pad Heel" on his pads. Its helped them toughen up...no more sore feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
