When my male was in his puppy stage his back pads would bleed sometimes after walks. He is a very extreme male and loose in the rear. After he started growing and got control of his body :o) He stopped bleeding. I would make sure that they don't walk him until his pads have healed completely, I would put neosporne so it did not?get infected. ?Denise Fox Foxhaven German Shepherds -----Original Message----- From: Edwin Hill <edwinx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: freelist <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tue, 30 Dec 2008 10:13 am Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Bleeding Pads ??
