Oh now I know what you are talking about. I was thinking it was on the inside of him, I didn't realize it was on the outside skin. DUH! Yes I have seen my uncle who has a dairy do this to a cow. It was disgusting!!! I will ask him about what the cause is. I think there has to be an entry point, I could be wrong. But I think between the toes or a cut. I'm going to go research this. THat's really gross being on your dog, poor baby!
