Hi guys-

Just wanted to know if anyone has seen this before. Piggy pads near her dew claws are looking awfully white and cracked, but the cracked pieces are almost coming out in sprout-like formations. I just noticed it and am going to make a vet appt, but has anyone seen this?? They are not bothering her at all she hasn't even been licking or biting them and seems healthy otherwise. Think its a fungus?

-Thanks!

I use tea tree oil on everything. Its the "anti Basenji" tool in our house. Alex will tease me all the time. I apply it to anything I don't want the dogs to lick off. Paws, an insect bite I don't want them to lick, a rash, etc. Its also a great antiseptic and helps the healing process too. I just love it!!!!

You an also try putting some ointment on their paws to help heal & avoid any further scrapes. I use Mushers Secret..it's good all year around.

I agree with having them removed! and I WISH I had done it. I, too, have heard of dogs getting injuries w/ the dews… they get caught. My own dog has caught his a couple of times, thankfully, nothing serious (yet).

So if the dog is under anyways - I say go for it!

and yes, I cut my dog's dew claws like the rest of his nails.
