About six weeks ago. Carlo was limping and licking his paw. The vet found a sort of little warty lump between his pads which was getting sore from licking and removed it under general anesthetic. Carlo was bandaged for a month, no walks except round the block for the toilet - we were all going mad and he was so miserable. Finally the vet announced it was healed and we got back to normal. The last couple of days, he's been licking his paw again and, when I examined it tonight, I saw the wound was open again and much bigger than it was before. I guess I have to go back tomorrow and we have to go through the whole thing again. Does anyone have any similar experience? Do wounds on the foot ever clear up? I suppose every time he puts his foot down, it puts pressure on the wound. So how can it heal?
