Old Cut on Back pad

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? THANKS

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.
