So Moose has done it again. ABout a month ago his right rear foot pad (the bigger of the 3) looked like it was torn somehow from outside (possibly from icy snow/over salted sidewalks on public areas) and then was raw. We took him to the vet because I didn't want it to get infected and he was licking a lot and didn't know if that would make it worse. THe vet said that it will run its course and he will lick it to clean and it will heal up. And it did.
So he started limping again and he has another cut/raw sore on the same pad. And then I noticed he has a smaller one on the other rear leg. He is licking them occasionally and sometimes worse than others. The outside edges of the sore look rough and dry. I am planning on calling the vet again but didn't know if anyone had ideas/ things that we could put on it to decrease the sensitivity or help push the healing process??
We are in the market of getting him booties for outside.. to prevent future reoccurrence.
Thanks!
