Cut Dog Pad

[chad.vis]

I would guess this has been discussed already but I couldnt find it with the search bar. My young dog has a cut on the pad on his front foot. Not sure if it came from a coon or a sharp rock. Maybe 1/3 inch long and limps on it when on a hard surface. I bought boots Ill try on that foot but wondering if any of you have the magic answer to a quick recovery for this?

Clean out with sterile water. Trim back any dead edges. Then antibiotic cream. Telfa pad over cream. Get 2” adhesive tape. One strip from back of foot to front of the foot, covering the nails. Next strip left to right covering the nails. Then tape around the foot to hold all together. Change every other day or if wet. At least two bandage changes. On with the hunt. Keep from chewing.

Sharp rock edge most likely or ground object, wire or metal edge.
