Sore pads

Post by paul »

SORE PADS
Does anyone else have problems with their dogs feets ?
I have 2 dogs right now that their pad are complely tore up.I have looked at their pads closely and do not see a thing in them.
I have been running them pretty hard trying to get them tuned in so I can hit a trial here and there. I sure hate to lay them up.
I have been using Pad-Heal on them already. Also trying to keep their pads dry when we are not running.
Any suggestions would be appreciated..........
Thanks in advance...........

One of my little males has been laid up for almost 2 weeks. He usually gets sore feet a few times a year, this was the first time this season.
