Skinned pads

[Sprig]

Unfortunately my lurcher spotted a deer before I did this evening and went off in hot pursuit including over tarmac and gravel. He has taken the top layer off both front pads - around a 50p size on one pad and twice that on the other one. Understandably he is pretty sore and has not bothered with his dinner tonight. He has cut pads before and really struggled until they healed. If I take him to the vets will they do anything? They look nice and clean with no obvious lacerations or dirt stuck in. I am assuming that I need to keep him from walking around as much as possible and keep his feet clean and dry - anything else? Thanks in advance.

Ouch! My dog did a similar thing, I took him to vet who gave him a clean and wrapped his feet in bandage and vet wrap. Depending on how bad i would run it by the vet
