The doghouse

Vet or wait and see?

My dog has hurt his paw - he's not putting his full weight on it and is holding it up when he's sitting or standing

I can't see anything obvious but it's obviously very sore between two of his toes

I've rested him this afternoon but am in a quandary as to whether or not to take him to the vet (it would have to be bank holiday weekend...)

Soak in salt water? Is he well in himself?

He's gone to sleep now so will keep me fingers crossed that he stays comfy until the morning

Yes he is insured, thankfully, which is good as his paws seem to be a magnet for every bit of broken glass in the park ... This is his sixth paw injury in 2 years ..
