Paw Wound

Question
My 8 year old yellow lab has had a wound(pinhole) on her paw off and on for several years...We have tried several treatments from epsom salts to antibiotic creams and pills etc.  Xrays have been taken and she has been probed..nothing to be found or explanation for this chronic pin hole of a wound which bleeds profusely at times...Aside from surgery which my vet suggested...any advice?
Thanks

Answer
Hi Linda, It sounds like you have tried everything to avoid surgery for this poor fella! I would seriously consider surgery especially if he is in any amount of pain. This may be the only other option for him. Sorry, to hear about this, and I hope he feels better! Please keep me posted! Sending wagging tales your way, Nicole
