Hey All,
My 5 month old lab/shepherd puppy hurt his leg so we put him in a splint for awhile. During that 2 week time-frame in a splint, he developed a skin infection on his paw. He is on antibiotics, but his paw pad on one of his toes is falling off. I'm worried because underneath his pad there is just soft tissue. Is this something anyone can give me some expertise on? Have you ever had to deal with something like this? And if his paw pad falls off, will a new one come back as a callus? In between his toes his paw is red and very gross. It's getting better but definitely not good.
Thank you in advance for any advice or input from experience.
