Thank you Jerry and Karen!  If I hadn't had one very sore tripod, I might not have thought of it, but I can't ask him to stand ON that paw in a bowl of water, and I certainly can't ask him to stand on his two front legs while I lift that one up in the air for more than a moment or two, so ...

Do tell the Pawz people.  I think they're great and have been using them for years.  I got them first for a four-legger who cut her foot, and then just always kept some on hand, just in case.  When we got Sid, and he became a Pets As Therapy, hospital-visiting dog, I used them for when he went on wards with slippy floors.  He negotiated them with no problems at all, wearing his purple Pawz!

Hello Andrea!  Thanks for popping in to say hi to Sid and I! 

I should add that four of the vets who have seen him during the corn surgery and follow-up visits have made a note of the name 'Pawz' and said they will recommend them in future, too!

Yes, Katy - new pad of cotton wool each time, and I use a new boot, too. The ones I've used for soaking get thoroughly dried and then I put them over a sock to protect his foot when he goes outside.  Good observation though, because it's no good soaking a wound with dirty boot!

The Manuka honey will also help to thoroughly disinfect the foot after the soaking because it's such a great antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral.  I continue to be amazed at its healing powers.
