Years ago my Boxer got a cut on her pad....altho it was'nt a very big gash, it was deep and she needed a couple of stitches. Depending on what she cut herself on, you may want to get a hold of the vet....I know they ended up also giving my girl a shot of which I believe was tetanus? Like Mona mentioned it bled a lot.....I thought she had cut off her pad completly the blood was just gushing....but a closer look saw that it inded was just a cut...but deep.
