Torn pad
Took Zoomie out this a.m. to the local forest preserve. We're about two miles from the car, in a downpour, & I notice Zoomie holding his back right paw up. I think "oh no, we've done this before". I stop him & see the blood running through the puddles. He somehow managed to tear his main pad half off! I had to call my wife, (who was sleeping) & have her pick us up & take us to the vet. The vet had to knock him out to clean & suture the wound.
I just got Zoomie home after he was there for 4 hours. He's still doped up &passed out on his pillow. Poor guy! We take the bandages off on Monday.
