What do you use for dog boo-boo's???
Copper has the skin rubbed raw around the toes above the pads from going through crusted snow.
Do I need to use moss and gun powder or is there something I can get from the store to put on it?????

There is a product called Pad Kote. I have never used it, but the grey hound guys here swear by it.

Thanks Geordie, I've used that stuff when I had coon hounds, but its more for conditioning of the pads and to keep them from drying out.. Good stuff but not what I'm looking for..
At the moument I'm useing Vetericyn but the stuff really stings when you spray it on a wound and I'm running out of long sleeve shirts.. ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)
What I need is something for wounds or skin injuries above the pads that helps heel and does'nt sting.. Someone mentioned useing uderbalm or Neosporin. ???????

Udder balm or anything with lanolin would be good. Also any product with zinc will promote healing.

Tim, I have a tube of EMT Gel that works pretty good on minor cuts & gashes. Helps to stop bleeding and the wounds seem to heal up with very minimal scarring. And Copper is safe to lick at it, but she likely won't want to...
I got it @ Tractor Supply, good luck!

Geordie, Fred, and Jwelk.. Thanks..
Jwelk; Yes I do let her lick the wound at times but from what I see it takes longer for it to scab over or heal.I'm trying to speeed up the healing process so I can still hunt her the next day with boots on and not worry about the boot adding to the injury from friction..
At the moument udderbalm and Neosporin seem to be working and I'm still looking for the EMT stuff...
I've been applying the med.s and then I cover up Coppers feet with her favorite blanket for a few hours or more to keep her from licking up the med.s..
Been useing a few different brands of boots and I'm not sold on them so far, they do a good job of protecting Coppers feet if I can keep all of them on.. I may try and modify a set so they stay on better or may have the wife make me some with a higher cuff.
Also been thinking of takeing a pr. of kids tube socks and applying plastic coat to the outside and bottom of them to give them some strength/durability and then apply tape farther up to help keep them from slideing down.. Anyway thanks...

Oh! If thats what it does I won't need any of that. I'm dealing with skin abrasions mostly, not cuts or gashes... Thanks

For the sake of the dog...
Good cheap boots?... Bicycle inner tubes. Buy a few in various sizes and you can make a bunch of boots.
You can either leave the toe open, or glue it shut with the tube patch stuff.
To keep it on, wrap duct tape,...it takes some creative wrapping, but basically, you want the first layer that's against the leg (hair), adhesive side out. But it will still conform to the leg. Then, start wrapping regularly with adhesive side in.
Hope that makes sense.

Good Idea but would have to glue the ends shut.. How are they for traction on ice and snow????
The boots I use have a rough rubber bottom which helps some for traction but think the rubber tube would be worse and could cause other problems. Joints, tendons, ect.
I'll look into it though, maybe some rubber undercoating sprayed on the bottoms would help..
