Wondering what the "real" word is for the ankle/heel pad.  Not the big center pad and not the toe pads but the other one kind of on the underside of the pastern.  If it does not have a real name what do you call it...? Just a pad...? I'm curious because I was playing ball with my girl and she ended up doing a sliding stop on my gravel driveway and got some major road rash on her what ever they are called pads.        Thanks smarty pants!

A. Claw, B. Digital Pads, C. Metacarpal Pad, D. Dew Claw, E. Carpal Pad.

Hope this helps.

Thank you very much

If her pads are really sore, soak her foot in a solution of salt water.  My vet recommends this as it cleans and hardens the pad at the same time.
