Red Paws

[Joe_1987 12]

My 13 month staff bull bitch has started to suffer with red scabby paws, only started recently, diet hasn't changed and I clean and dry her feet whenever we get back from the field, would cleaning them with TCP be ok?

If it's a agricultural grass field may have been treated with fertiliser or sprayed both could cause iritation on dogs feet.

Not agricultural just public woodland and fields

Alabama rot ? I'd get it to a good vet as soon as possible.

Don't think it's Alabama rot as one day it flares up then the next day it's not to bad.

Just had a quick read up on that dilly.

Sounds nasty and fatal.and no cure

I've had a terrier here with demodectic mange, it shows up on their feet and muzzle too because it's where they come into contact with their mother while they're still on the tit.

Again your best option is taking it to a vet for a skin scrape, it can be confirmed one way or the other
