Our young wolfie bitch has split her pad its fairly deep, we have cleaned and sprayed septicleanse on it and but an inodine patch over, it has been well dressed and covered with an elastic self adhesive horse bandage.
My query is: can a pad be stitched or glued? If it can be stitched we will get it stitched if needed on Monday.
we don't want to run up a huge vets bill unnecessarily and we wouldn't put our dog at risk. We are confident that we can keep it dressed sterile ourselves if that is all the vet is going to do and charge us £150 for the pleasure.
We will take her to the vet on monday if needed

yes 12.00 is deffo lunch time. I never get used to having a pup of any age in at the vet. As I said earlier one of mine (now at the bridge) cut a pad and had it stitched. It was torture for us but she recovered really well. Stitches in for 10 days and a huge dressing on then all healed and stitches out. Foot was very smelly and needed a good wash but she was fine.
Well we have picked up Keeva, she is still a bit groggy but is fine. It was a far deeper cut than we realised.
The vet explained that the wound may actually break down again due to the location, so we will be living in hope for the next week or so.
So far this one inch cut to her pad has cost us in excess of £500, its actually a small price to pay for our Keeva but still think it is extortionate!
