Title: Running pads off Post by: swampdonkey_70 on March 14, 2013, 05:04:32 pm My best dog keeps running her front pads off. We rest her for several weeks to let her heal but the first time she goes back she runs them off again. Any suggestions??? Thanks

I have done all and the best it the chleche that way the feet have to harden

Title: Re: Running pads off Post by: hoghunter71409 on March 14, 2013, 09:00:48 pm Man I had the EXACT same problem on my lead plott. I started using a product called Pad-N-Heal. Thr more I used it the better. I ended up laying her up for three weeks, using the pad-n-heal almost daily. The first time out she started making a long chase, as soon as I had a chance, I picked her up. Even though she wanted to go, I held her back. I kept doing this letting her go a little longer each time. As of now her feet are good. I have to watch her carefully as I know it will happen again if she gets in a long race without of tuffening up period.

Title: Re: Running pads off Post by: Purebreedcolt on March 15, 2013, 09:53:16 am I just used the small can of tar at tsc and a regular can of turpintine mixed in a plastic container
Title: Re: Running pads off Post by: TexasHogDogs on March 15, 2013, 10:02:29 am Wipe them with turpintine two times a day for a few days . Best thing I ever seen for sore are broke up feet .

No more pad problems.
Title: Re: Running pads off Post by: Purebreedcolt on March 17, 2013, 09:23:57 pm Bolo I have heard that also but couldnt find any of the formaldyde but I was told just that brushed on not soaked because it couldd hurt their feet but is suposed to be durn good at tuffening their pads
