My dog has a ripped paw pad on both of his front paws. It isn't bleeding but the skin is hanging off. What do I do? Pet's info: Dog | Golden Retriever | Male | neutered | 2 years old | 100 lbs

You can cut back the part that is hanging. They dont usually feel it. And as long as he isn't licking he paws and now limping then they should heal quickly. If he is licking, place a cone collar to prevent this. If you are unsure about cutting off the hanging part, ask your vet to help.
