What to do?

I noticed that Minnie was licking at her paw a bit yesterday so when we were snuggled up on the settee together in the evening I took her paw and had a look. At first I could see nothing but then when I spread her pads I found a little cut just between her toes. Do I leave well alone or does it need treatment? I dont think that it is deep and does not appear to have anything in it.

It doesn't sound serious, but to be safe, I would apply some antibacterial ointment, like Neosporin...

i would just put some neospiron on it just tomake it heal faster but as long as it is not deep it should heal okay

Ditto.. keep an eye on it and apply some antibacterial ointment.

Wash in-between there with warm soap and water and then some AB ointment.

Also, you can try Cloudstar (the company that makes buddy biscuits) they make a cream called Buddy Boo Boo skin care. It helps the cut to heal quicker. I've used it on similar cuts and they've healed right up. Still use something antibiotic to prevent infection though!

Good luck.

Thanks everyone! I will see what kind of antiseptic oinment I can get hold of. Hmmm is there any kind that is danerous for dogs? I have a feeling that Minnie will most probably lick at it?
