Hello. Boba has cut his foot just above the carpal pad. It probably could be sutured, but you can treat this by cleaning the wound with a skin antiseptic like Hibiclens ( available at all pharmacies ) & placing a clean, not too tight bandage on the foot. First thing next week, contact your vet for evaluation to see if the foot requires additional treatment. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
