My Cali had a cut on her back paw about a month ago- no limping, or licking, I just noticed a dark spot that turned out to be dried blood, and removed what seemed to be a piece of litter, or hard scabs. We washed it and used antibiotic ointment and it seemed to have healed. Last weekend I found it had reopened. Well she went in and the vet said it was infected and got an antibiotic shot, and sent home with some antiseptic wipes and Manuka honey. She also had routine blood work done. She had lost over 2 pounds in last two years! She was, and still is really, overweight, I just hope shes okay!
I was surprised the cut didn't heal on it's own. I almost didn't take her in, but my son convinced me!
