The best thing to do would be take it to the vet - they would be able to give you the treatments that the dog need. Splits in a dogs pad can bleed a lot and must be treated by a vet immediately. The standard method of repairing the split is by staple (in Europe). Before leaving the vet, make sure that the staple is holding the two parts of the pad together. It is very easy to mis-staple and it will look like the staple is in the correct place for proper healing, but really isn't. Never attempt to staple a dog's paw pad yourself. The staples used by your vet are surgical stainless steel and require a special instrument to put them into the pad. Also never attempt to remove the staple yourself. Always let your vet provide after-care for your pet.

No they should not have. If you have a bulge near the belly buttom area, it is most likely a hernia which will need surgery to fix it. It is where the intestine had gotten through a small hole in the intestinal area. Please take your dog to your Veterinarian to have that checked out and discuss it with him or her.


How do you know if your dog is fixed?

You can determine if your dog is fixed by checking for a small incision scar on the abdomen. Female dogs will have a scar from spaying surgery, which is usually located near the belly button. Male dogs will have a scar from neutering surgery, which is typically located on the scrotum or abdomen.

The cats belly button is located where the umbilical cord was. You cant see the belly button with all of the fur in the way. The belly button is way too small to see. It would be located around the mid-section of the belly of a cat.


Why do dogs like their bellies rubbed?

Dogs like all petting from humans. Belly rubs are particularly enjoyable because dogs can't reach their own bellies well with their mouths or paws, so it's satisfying to them to have that area rubbed by someone who can reach it. (That's why they like scratches behind their ears, too.)
