My Dog Has What Seems To Be A Deep Cut On Paw Pad About An Inch …

My dog has what seems to be a deep cut on paw pad about an inch long. It’s not bleeding but does cause him to limp. I’ve cleaned it and put ointment with gauze pad and wrapped. Should I continue to do this and see if it’s heals on it’s own or take him to vet to see if it needs stitches?

    Please go to the vet and inquire about whether antibiotics are needed. I would start there. I always assume these wounds are infected. Instead of waiting for it to happen.
