My dog has a bleeding paw pad after a walk on rough terrain.

[]

Answer

This is an emergency - please take your pet to your nearest emergency veterinary clinic immediately. Bleeding paw pads can be painful and prone to infection. It's important to control the bleeding by applying direct pressure with a clean cloth, but a veterinarian needs to thoroughly clean and assess the wound. They will check for foreign objects, deep cuts, or potential ligament damage and may need to bandage the paw to protect it during healing, as well as prescribe antibiotics or pain relief.
