    This is like a paper cut. Very thin and hard to see but very very painful anytime you jab at it, especially on the foot when walking. Try to keep him from walking in muddy areas so it doesn't get really dirty and infected. He will probably limp or favor that foot until it heals.

    Well - the thing is- he's not limping and he will let me touch it-and he walks fine now-but it looks lik it left a little lump scar-im just wondering if that will clear up more in time or will the little lump scars stay- anyway thanks for the feed back. Have a good weekend!
