| This happened to my Nikko once. I think its because your dog hasn't really developed "walking callouses" on his paw pads. This happens to Nikko over the winter because I really don't take him out in the cold. His paw pads get soft and sensitive and as soon as I take him out to the cement, he scrapes them. Like with your dog, he never seemed to be in pain and it looked worse than it really was. Maybe you can try putting booties on him so as to protect his paws on walks. After a while though, I think the pads toughen up on their own and he'll be fine. Good luck to you and if you feel really concerned about this, by all means check with your vet.

| The south Yes Alabama is in the south. However the person who posted the question is from NY. I was trying to say that I didn't believe that dog was getting into red mud. I know that mine and yours are. Go Roll tide. Hee Hee. I do hope it is something as easy as mud though. That poor little fur baby.

| Update on Rocky's Paws I called my Vet and he said no need to worry that it is because his paws pads are still very sensitive and he said to either get him little booties or just be careful when i walk him. Thanks to all you guys that have been giving me their thoughts and comments on my puppie's situation. I LOVE YORKIETALK!!!!! ROCKY SAYS THANKS GUYS

| Baby socks work well, but if there is blood then there is a chance for infection so I would keep a close eye on them and soothe them with the bag balm or utter butter. |
