sore pad on her front left paw

I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions on what to do for my 3 yr
old yellow lab who has a sore pad on her foot. It is only one of the pads
but it is very red. It just started today and we have tried to limit her
activity but she still wants to follow us where we go. We spent the last 2
days at my sisters who has a pool and the deck area surrounding it is
concrete. She was running around on the concrete and grass playing with my
sisters 10 week old golden pup. This is the only different thing that has
been in her environment and she has never had this problem before. She is
always very active but I am wondering if it is from the cement (we have a
wooden deck) and if there is anything I can do to help with her discomfort
or put on it to help in the healing process.

Thanks,
Jen

I remember once when Jadee rubbed her pad raw from turning on the driveway
while trying to get the basketball over and over our vet suggested we spray
some "new skin" on it to help protect it while it healed. It worked like a
dream. There are a lot more varieties of "liquid bandage" type things
around now, so you might want to check with your vet about if any of them
would not be safe to use.

Granted, it didn't take away the soreness, so to speak, but it did keep it
clean and covered from dirt while it healed.
