The spaniel got into an altercation just now over in the field with a dog that he has previously been ok with. He started it (over a fucking tennis ball) and the big, soft, black lab finished it. The spaniel has a puncture wound behind his main pad on his front right foot. It has stopped bleeding, and I've washed it out, applied antibacterial ointment and bandaged it. He is limping in quite a pronounced way. This comes just a month after he badly cut his front left pad. In fact, he's still limping a bit on that side, so maybe he'll be a bit more evened out. I am very upset, demoralised, fucked off, miserable and a million other things right now, but do you think he needs to see a vet? Or is it one of those things that just needs to heal? Please don't anyone flame me, I don't think I could take it.
