http://www.dogster.com/answers/question/dogs_paw_pads_are_fallen_off-69679 2 weeks ago my dog had a skin growth removed from his front right paw. The vet wrapped it and told me to remove it in a couple of days. I tried and after struggling with him for a few days, 3 of us were finally able to remove it. The bandage was on for a total of 5 days. He paw was swollen twice the size. I brought him to the vet the very next morning. The vet assured me he will be fine. 3 days later, his top pad completely fell off. Today I noticed his large bottom pad is falling off ad well. Called 2 vets and they're just telling me it takes time to heal and he should be fine. Can anyone please tell me what is happening, why his pads are just fallen off, or is this just normal and I'm just an overly worried momma? My dogs are the world to me and it kills me to see them unhappy. en-us Copyright Dogster 2013 Thu, 23 May 2013 06:46:04 GMT Wed, May 22nd 2013, 23:46 GMT http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Dogster.com dogsters@dogster.com dogsters@dogster.com http://www.dogster.com/answers/question/dogs_paw_pads_are_fallen_off-69679#answer-189732 Sounds like a fungualnproblem. I cannot belive the vet didnt help you more. Try soaking dogs feet in warm water,1 quart to 3 tlb of epsom salts. Keep pads dry dry dry.. Also a may want to try a different vet if your not happybwith the help youve gotten. Im sure the vet told you to clean the wound daily and dress it several times a day. Ya cant leave the old bandage on,it grows bacteria and makes itvworse

I would take him to the nearest vet or animal hospital, regardless of what they say. There may be some mis-communication going on. What do you mean the pad has fallen completely off? Is it like an open wound? is there blood?
