As per my previous question on 8.1.03 replyed to by digger out sbt hasnt got mites or a fungal infection as hes had many a tests at the vets, and they cannot find anything wrong at all, so why are his pads so rough and sore please help a very distressed owner.

Hello guest
Does your dog lick all of his feet or just front or rear,what sort of feed back have you had from the vet about it:ie were your walk the dog,how long has the dog done this and what does the vet recommend.

Guest, as you can see, there are lots of questions that need answering to point you in the right direction. If you join the board, which is free and doesn't take long, then you will be able to reply, and hopefully get the help you are looking for.:)

Have you tried glycerine or paw wax on the pads. Is the skin around the pads swollen - if so it could be an allergy. I dont know where you are and whether you have freezing weather? If its a recent problem could it be exersising on salted /gritted roads? salt is very drying on the pads.
