we had a great workout yesterday, holding Murphy down while his bandage was - finally - removed! a bit of snipping to remove some hair, some cleaning to remove the gunk buildup, lots of panting and flailing around to put on a new, lighter pad-thing (held on with micropore - that'll never last) and more holding-down while his new doggy boot was added on top. Phew! A good job well done.
Progress - the new pad and doggy boot were swiftly despatched when richard took him out and let him off the lead. He disappeared for 25 minutes while I waited at home, juggling dinner on a timescale til I got the good news that he was back (and the bad news that the paw was now free to the air - and the mud)
So we're now on standby doggy boot and have given up on the pad thing. He seems to be surviving!
