Henry's sore pads :(

Pagan · Jul 15, 2015

Hi again everyone,

I have been been busy chasing Henry around the place.
He is changing everyday!

I have noticed he has been nibbling at his feet and today I have noticed his pads on both front poors looking like this

I use no chemical floor cleaner etc.

Is this common and does anyone know of anything I can do to make his feet better?

Thanks in advance

Hi Pagan...I use Blissful Dog Paw Butter on my dogs paw and it really helps. It could be allergy related however and I am sure more knowledgeable people will answer your question. You also could put on some virgin coconut oil, but he may lick it as they love the taste. Poor baby...hope he heals fast[emoji177]

If he's nibbling his feet it might be an allergy issue. I use coconut oil on Wally's paws when they get too rough.

Thank you, I am going to have a look what the local pet shop has. I hope it goes away quickly! I feel so sorry for him as he's only a baby but he doesn't seem bothered about it. It's not on his paws though which is strange. It's just the little pad behind his knee? (Sorry I'm not sure what they are called on a dog ahaha!)

Other than this he seems a pretty happy puppy, I'm just worried that he will end up with loads of allergies

as they are common with Frenchies

Thanks again

Oh no allergy doesn't sound good

Let's hope that's not the case! I learned from my Boston Terrier that if there a potential allergy problem the first thing to do is cut out any chicken/poultry in their diet. Good luck!

I really hope this isn't the case, he's only a baby

I will keep an eye on his eating - he eats like it's going out of fashion at the moment.

Thank you for the advice

Hello everyone. Natural Dog Company makes excellent products. If you are not familiar with them please check them out. I use their snout soother and it's AMAZING! I have seen big results with it and many of my Instagram friends use it too. They make a paw soother that it supposed to be very good, plus it's all natural so you don't have to worry if they lick their paws.

I would think it's probably allergies too. Mine tend to lick their paws too. Ollie just broke out in hives from a Strawberry I gave him. That boy is allergic to EVERYTHING.

I'm willing to try anything to stop his chewing himself. I want to stop it while it's not that bad

oh no that doesn't sound good! Bless him
