Sore pad

[EmmaA]

Poor Lucy has hurt her pad. It isn't deep it's more like a burst blister if that makes sense. The sore is about a 4mm circle that is a couple of mm deep 
It only seemed to bother her at the end of her walk and I thought that might be because of the grit and salt on the pavements? Anyway back to the point I have showered her paw (well all her paws, her ears and her mouth because she ate fox crap on her walk  ) and I have just got back from buying Hibiscrub from the Chemist. My questions are...... do I dilute the hibiscrub? How many times a day should I wash her paw with it? Should I restrict her walks? Or will she be ok with a sock taped over her paw? Oh and also why did the chemist come through from the back look at me and then ask what size hibiscrub I wanted? He didn't ask anything else, I found it bizarre 

TIA

PS her breath still stinks, any suggestions there

poor little Lucy 

I usually just pour a bit in a bowl of warm water - very unscientific    I think 1 part Hib to 10 parts water would be fine...and you could use it on her chops too just in case it's lip folds and not breath 

I would still take her on walks with sock and tape if she will be ok with that - and maybe slather some vaseline on their paws before they go on pavements just in case it's the grit/salt that's affecting her 

as for size you can get in massive quantities so I reckon your vet may have a huge container that he's decanting from

No she definitely has bad breath as I caught her eating fox poo 
It was the chemist I got the hibiscrub from I just thought it was a bit odd that he felt the need to come and look at me before he got some from out the back. It was an individual bottle when it came

maybe he suspected you were going to have it mixed with some tonic and ice :rofl:

Either that or I was going to use it before piercing both my cheeks and splitting my tongue in half or something  He must have lacked judgement if he decided I must be normal  So can you actually drink hibiscrub
