cracked paw
« on: May 17, 2004, 08:00:12 AM »
Blue has been licking his paw alot and when I took a look there seems to be a crack in it

Do you think that I need to take him to the vet to get this sorted out (it's not bleeding or open) or is there something anyone can recommend to use on it?

If he keeps licking it a lot I'd take him to the vets as he could eventually make the matter worse

I would recommend vaseline too - cheap but usually very effective :)

Thankyou for your replies, I will try the vaseline, I have some here with aloe vera in, would you use that one or the ordinary one?

The aloe vera will also do the trick
