| Sore Paws Help! I noticed after our walk yesterday that my little Lexus has a red spot on each of her paws (on the same pad on each front paw). I noticed her licking her feet, at first just thinking she was cleaning them, but then she didn't stop! Do you think a 30 minute daily walk could give her sore pads? I take my other yorkie too, and her paws are fine. what should I do to help her paws heal now? Is it okay for her to continue licking them - will they heal on their own? Should I put an antiboitic creme on the sore spots and put baby socks on her? Is there a creme I can get at the pet store to sooth her worn paw? Any suggestions, would greatly be appreciated!! |

| I would not use an antibiotic unless the sore is open. I have used aquaphor ointment on my dogs' from time to time when they have had chapped or other type of minor skin irritations. I would just clean the area with a mild soap and water and put some of the ointment on once or twice a day for 1-3 days. If that does not take care of it, you might want to see a vet. Also, if your dog licks at the paws, she can get a yeast overgrowth or pyoderma etc. So you want to curtail the licking if possible - use an e collar or try the baby socks. Hope this helps, perhaps others have additional ideas.
