I am concerned that there may be a piece of glass embedded in your dog’s foot. I would recommend taking him in to your veterinarian to have the wound explored and thoroughly cleaned. He may also need antibiotics and pain medication as well. Your dog may need to be sedated to have the wound fully explored. I hope this helps.
