What to do? Dog's paw cut after dog park, limping and licking.

Question

Hi I don't know what to to do about my dog's paws. He's having trouble walking and won't stop licking them. This has been going on since yesterday after we got home from the dog park. He hasn't been whining or showing other signs of pain. I don't know if you can see well in the pictures but on one of the paws it looks like a hole in his pad. It's both of his front paws.

Hi there. It looks like Max may have cut or scratched his paw pad. He also could have burned it if he was walking on hot pavement. I recommend taking him to the veterinarian because it sounds like he is painful. Your veterinarian can prescribe some pain medications to help him become more comfortable. Hope this helps!
