cdillard Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 Hello, My one year old BC has an old cut on his rear foot. The vet said it was too late to fix it a month or so ago. It seems deep and although not infected, I wonder if it will accumulate stuff later and give him problems. Can they do anything with this?

juliepoudrier Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 I find it odd that they'd say it was too late, unless the cut was too wide to stitch together. Generally even with old wounds, given an appropriate amount of skin to be able to draw the edges together, the vet could cut away the old tissue to expose new tissue and then stitch that. It's possible the cut in your dog's foot was too wide/deep to do that with. Have you asked your vet this question? S/he would be the best one to answer, having seen the actual injury. J.

LauraV Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 It depends where the cut is. I would get a second opinion from another vet and until then use a pawz bootie to cover it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
