Avatar n tn In a spray bottle combine equal parts water, baby oil and mouthwash (listerine or scope - we use mint flavor), shake it up and spray on the dogs paws about 1x per week. Both dogs paws are healing nicely.
Avatar m tn Hello all, my dog, Sultan, has itching and scratches himself a lot, licks his paws and has what seem to be rashes Yesterday, upon wakeup, he had this large area without hair in one of his hips (photo attached). And today it seems worse with a more intense red color. Also, today another little spot appeared on his other hip, he licks himself a lot so i don't know if it's that or he's got an allergy.
2059648 tn?1439766665 There are products in the dog catalogs and in pet stores, that can help with the red saliva stains that tend to develop on the fur of white dogs, around the mouth, on the paws, and elsewhere, as well as ones that sometimes form on the fur near the inner sides of the eyes, due to tear secretions. People who show their dogs often use such products to correct these problems, so they are available at dog shows as well.
Avatar f tn Has anyone bought the pedi paws nail clippers shown on tv for your dogs? Is it safe? Can anyone use them? I would never clip my dogs claws myself for fear of hurting him or doing any kind of damage. But this product claims you can't harm the dog and a novice can use it. Any feedback would be helpful.
Avatar n tn In my unprofessional opinion, I don't think the spots are anything to worry about. Like people, dogs can develop differently pigmented areas on their skin, and it's just the way they were meant to be and entirely normal. Since you're concerned, bring it up with your vet on her next checkup. As for the paw licking, she may be doing that out of simple boredom.
5769293 tn?1373926011 The yeast infection could be due to an allergy. My dogs allergic to yeast and gets the infection. Does it have a foul odor? I would seek vet advice..
Avatar f tn If the icky brown stuff is not effective in preventing your dog from licking and biting his paws, than something taken internally is probably necessary depending on the cause for the licking and biting. Biting paws is often a symptom of allergies. If the allergen causing the paw biting can be identified and eliminated than medication would not be necessary.
Avatar m tn The most common reason for swollen bumps on the paws and between the toes in dogs are allergies and secondary infection. Does she lick at the paws? Has your doctor given any antibiotic or anti-inflammatory medications that make the lesions go away temporarily, or do they seem to go away and come back randomly?
Avatar f tn Dog chewing on paws Yeast infections cause dogs to lick their paws Dogs licking paws or chewing paws can be signs of a yeast infection. Your dog may also have ear issues, stinky skin, weight issues. And, because a diet that is loaded with grains/carbs/fillers actually changes your pet’s pH, that paw licking (saliva) can cause the fur to actually turn pink. This is also true for dogs that have red, pink or brown eye/face staining as well.
Avatar f tn Skin disease in dogs is never simple. The goal required for truly successful (and rational) treatment is to get a diagnosis. Allergy is a broad category which includes several subtypes, each of which behaves and responds differently. The word allergy, therefore is not a diagnosis. Expect the workup for recurrent or non-resolving skin disease to require repeat visits and a series of tests and trials over time to sort out. At this point the dog has been seen once and treated once.
Avatar m tn Sorry to hear about what Kobe has been going through. Poor thing. They have no peace when they are constantly chewing or scratching. My dog used to chew on his paws and make them raw. It sounds like he has an allergy. My dog used tho chew, get eye infections, and ear infections. In January I started doing a lot of research on dog food and found out that dogs shouldn't be eating grains.

Avatar f tn We have a westie / pomeranian mix (Hildie) whose hind legs have gotten progressively weaker over the last few months. When we took her to the vet, they did blood work and x-rays but couldn't find anything wrong. She didn't react to any pain when they squeezed her legs and hips, and they couldn't find any breaks or fractures or anything wrong in the x-rays. Blood work came back clean, and she's at a healthy weight.
Avatar f tn Our girl Abby, 55 lb German-Australian Sheppard mix has been to the vet three times in the past year for one ear infection and two separate incidents of skin rashes. The vet diagnosed allergies, all treated and cleared. The last visit a couple of months ago vet said we can start with otc cortisone if rashes return and see if it helps, but if more frequent episodes then consider going back for prescription strength meds.

He can't even walk and i have to pull them out of his paws. My husband and I DON'T KNOW where to walk him now. Are they from the trees, will they ever go away?? should i buy my dog little boots??
765439 tn?1292960414 anyway my boy scratches me with his paws if i dont show him enough affection, and today i was laying down and he scratched me and his paw went up my nose..so ust wondering if he did have a bacterial infection if i now have it cause hi paw went up my nose..
Avatar f tn Dont let your dogs be too close to the baby and dont leave your dogs alone with your baby. Get your dogs in a good consistent routine of feeding, exercising, and down time. That will help them adjust to when your baby is here and you wont have all time to focus on them.
Avatar f tn But she yelps when she pulls herself forward in any laying position. She almost stiffens up in the neck and shoulder area. She loses her spontaneity and almost acts like she was abused. She woke me up at 230am stuck on the couch cuz she couldn't get down. I gave her ibu and moved her, but when I got up she was sitting in the floor and when I got her to get back on the couch again her paws were cold to the touch.
Avatar f tn Cats can have extensive and proliferative lesions on the feet that are basically an allergic reaction (called eosinophilic plaques). The cat could also have foreign material stuck in the paws like glass or something that is not allowing them to heal. There could also be a bacterial infection or resistant bacterial infection or yeast infection present. Basically, what should be done is a thorough visual exam of the feet to check for foreign material.
Avatar f tn So my dogs got ina fight yesterday and my dumb *** gets in between them to break it up. well one of them scratched my leg up pretty bad, i cleaned it up with alcohol pretty well and put neosporin on it and wrapped it up. but this morning when i checked on it, well im pretty sure its infected. it looks gross. well anyway idk this might be a stupid question but if its infected can it somehow hurt my baby? like maybe something in my blood? i might be worried over nothing idk any advice?
Avatar n tn Healthy Paws Rabbit and brown rice mix for adult dogs. Now I am in England, and the manufacturer is in Liverpool England (They won an award a few years ago) The lady who started the business worked as (I think) a vet tech. and knew it was time for a good holistic dog food, after she had seen the effects of bad food on dogs. So she started Healthy Paws. It's most likely grown now, but started as a small family run business. I am not sure if they have a distributor in the US or Canada....

1518277 tn?1290837469 He got well after the disease but still with the pains in the paws, walk difficulties, isolation. The fever - 39.5 - 40.4 was present almost all the time. During all this time I went with him to a lot of doctors. They didn't find a diagnosis but treat the poor dog with a lot of medicine.
53833 tn?1234996629 Although, she never really exhibits behavior that the murmur is impairing her in any way - she is very active and especially today - going after my dogs like Ninja cat and swinging away with her paws - had to do everything I could to keep the dogs from eating her - normally they get along great and 2 of my dogs actually have been cleaning her and pampering her this past week.
228686 tn?1211554707 I've heard some bad things about dogs who eat chocolate. When they come into the vet clinic, they do induce vomiting and "clean them out" with charcoal in some cases. Some dogs seem to react worse than others. We had a "pit bull" who ate an entire chocolate easter bunny and had no reaction. Our Siberian husky ate a chocolate chip cookie and it made her sick. We had a dog who loved beer. She'd jump the fence and actually drink it out of the neighbors glasses.
