Julie N Craig Bills 2 Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 Hi I have to patterdale pups 3 month old. The problem is when I walk them one of them is having major problems with his paws they drive him mad about 10 minutes aftet we return. He runs around the house yelping scratching his paws on everything he can this can go on all night. The other one is fine. Does amyone know what this maybe or should I just take him to vet this has been going on everytime I go out for a week Quote Link to post

smasher 1,055 Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 What are you using on the floors of your runs?jeyes fluid/bleach could be burning his pads 1 Quote Link to post
the_stig 6,614 Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 sounds like he`s taking some of the pad off.. Quote Link to post
Julie N Craig Bills 2 Posted April 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 Hes in the house not kenneled. His pads dont appear sore but he scratches them on floor non stop after a walk but need to take him out but it drives him mad Quote Link to post

gouldy257 79 Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 try to prevent him from scratching his pads when back in house,,, as they will get more sensitive on him mate ATB Quote Link to post
legacy2.5 6 Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 I would of said nettles, but it maybe some of the stuff they spreading on fields i sometimes suffer this with one of the lurchers, atb mike Quote Link to post
dogmad riley 1,343 Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Had this with my lurcher pup after walks would run round scratching his paws. I think the problem is soft pads as he doesn't do it anymore. A whippet a friend had also did it but stopped when got a bit older. Nothing to worry about but check his paws jst to make sure nothing stuck in them Quote Link to post
