This has happened to me recently at a tennis court. I spoke to my vet and he told me the same thing Callie said.
...bag balm or neosporene, gauze pad, and then wrap with vet wrap, until the blister is gone.
He told me to watch to make sure it did not get infected... but it cleared up VERY quickly, in about a day.
I still used boots for a few days after when going outside just to be on the safe side.
I wish there was a way to avoid this, as my dogs love playing at the tennis courts. I think my one will need to be booted from now on... since this has happened twice already.
Is there a way to help protect their paw pads aside from boots? It just seems to happen on one paw... but in different places on the paw. I wonder if this is because of the way he runs... maybe he puts more pressure on one side [sm=uhoh.gif] ???
I dont mind booting him up , and I have boots which are suposedly all weather, but I still worry about overheating in the summer.
