Irritated paws
Submitted by maggie6612 on May 30, 2012 - 10:48amI noticed yesterday that between Otis' toes is red and moist and it seems to be bothering him a little bit. I am wondering if this could have to do with the very humid weather recently? Or because he goes in his baby pool several times a day maybe the water couldn't dry between his toes..Either way does anybody have a suggestion on how to get this resolved? I saw ACV mentioned and he does get that on his food. Would it help to soak his feet in it? Thanks!!

Allergies?
Rugby had a red, infected wrinkle (even though we are diligent with maintenance) and we took him to the vet after the hydrogen peroxide/ointment method wasn't really clearing things up. She said it was allergies so she gave us a medicated shampoo which has definitely cleared things up (we use once a day in the irritated area). She did ask us to keep a close eye on his paws, ears and wrinkles because that is where he was most likely to have irritation.
I have no idea if this is the case, but the pollen levels have been extremely high here in NY so it has been rough for both humans and our furry friends.
Moist Toes
Its from the pool. You need to dry his toes and/or limit his pool time. Any warm, moist, enclosed environment grows fungus or yeast.
swollen between toes
I noticed that previous messages about bully toes seem to be about allergies.
I have visited my vet asking about these little cysts, had antibiotics, did salt baths blah blah blah,
Preston's feet are not looking too great this summer. two digits on one paw and middle on the other.
Is it the heat? Is it the constant dips in his pool? Is it his prickly toe hairs?
Thanks for any advice, its our first bull dog.
