This is a slow process , and , if you can keep your dog off of rough surfaces this will speed things up. I have had three occurrences of pad injuries with my hounds that were of the more serious type. One injury I thought serious enough for a vet visit and did the usual clean disinfect with anti-bacterial soap and check to see if any sharps were still in the paw and wrap to stop bleeding and made a trip to vet. Vet advised that in most cases with the exception of very deep wounds that the paw would heal on it's own and to restrict the dog's activity for a week and keep clean. I was doubtful when my vet said that he would not advise stitches as they would not stay in. The wound looked deep to me , but , we kept it clean and it healed on it's own.
