I just discovered this last night! Part of Louieā€™s paw pad is gone and there is a little flap hanging! Wtf!!! It must be somewhat recent but thereā€™s no wound or injury and it doesnā€™t hurt him. He hasnā€™t been on hot pavement. His other pads are fine. How the hell does this happen?

He just cut it. Must of been playing and stepped on something. Use vet wraps and add bag balm if you have any or polysporin for a few days then air it out.

There are river rocks in my backyard but weā€™ve lived here almost 2 years so Iā€™d be surprised if thatā€™s what itā€™s from. We did go to a farmers market last weekend. I guess he could have stepped on something. But thereā€™s been no yelp or blood. So I guess whatever happened didnā€™t cause him too much pain.

So I know paw pads donā€™t grow back so is this foot going to be more sensitive with a piece missing?

Okay maybe they do grow back. I thought they didnā€™t but the Google is saying they do. I guess weā€™ll see!

Poor Louie! I've never seen that before - looks like he's shedding his skin. Hope he'll be fine soon!

You could put a wet tea bag on it(tannic acid) or use a zinc cream. Or maybe just check it-drawing attention to it may start him licking,which would be worse.

Thankfully heā€™s not even bothered by it so Iā€™ll just keep an eye on it and keep it clean.

They do grow back just slowly. Heā€™ll get a thin layer of skin first then it will thicken within time. Skin always has a way to repair itself. :)

I think he first got his skin thickened because of something (it formed like a dry blister), because pad around looks whitish. I think it was kind of hyperkeratosis, and then it just broke because it became brittle. His paw isnā€™t sore because this thickened skin was already apart from underplaying layer for quite some time and naked skin under blister matured. I think more pieces around will come off and everything will heal.
