Got some thats all the sudden busted their pads! Whats some remedies to help take out the soreness and heal em up the fastest while still running them regular?
Had a couple of young dogs that showed promise, tried everything on them would get pads back on them go hunting and bust them first time out. Fellow hunter told me to soak feet in vinegar, Epsom salt, regular salt let dry and put iodine on em. Did this everyday for a week or so left them in pen for another week been running them ever since in the same pen no problems so far.
Just dip the pads in the Clorox and hold them there. If the pads are busted or raw the dog ain't gonna like it but it really does work. Do this a couple times a week. The pads will start to toughen.

Mike, How much vinegar, epsom salt and regular salt?
Mix vinegar with Clorox and it does'nt burn them. Works great. I also would use some type of hoof flex, pad heal, etc. to keep them from drying out. Hope this helps.
