My one year old collie has torn both of his front paw pads (the larger one on both paws). One paw has some of the pad still attached. We washed the areas with very mild soap, dried the paws, and placed socks over both paws.
What would be the best course of action for this type of injury?

Hello,
I am not sure what happened or how severe this is. I also cannot provide treatment options without knowing more about your dog and the extent of the injuries. In all cases of injury it is ideal to have a vet look at them. They will be able to provide an idea of what your best treatment options are and whether medications are indicated. In most cases I recommend rest and an ecollar to allow them to heal but a vet needs to do the rest in person.
