I posted this on another thread and I got the advice to come here. I have adopted a 6 year old Yorkie, Oliver, who was in a puppy mill for 5 years. He is so sweet and adjusting well... however his paws are very infected from being a crate for so long. I just took him to get groomed and she said the infection was up his legs. He is constantly licking his paws. The vet gave me an antiseptic lotion to put on him (which is so difficult to give... he cries so much) and it isn't working very well.
I want Oliver to have the best life ever. He has suffered enough. Any advice for my new baby?
