Hello all, was wondering if anyone knows what this is on Murphy's paw pad? To me, it looks like a blister. A few days ago, he was licking it constantly, but has since let up on it. Ssorry they are a bit blurry.
Thank you

It's hard to tell from a photo, but it looks like he might have given himself a hot spot or got a bug bite and then licked it raw. I would clean it with withchhazle and then put goldbond power on it.

Thanks Sue! I'm not good at taking close up photos, sorry.

Hey Sue - would Neosporin work? I've never used gold bond. What does it do?

Evelyn - Sookie gets something like that where she licks it raw. They're usually really small and I can only tell because she keeps licking it. I put witchhazel, like Sue mentioned and then put Neosporin cream so it wouldn't get infected. If she's really going at it, I have some doggy "anti itch" lotion that seems to keep her away from it.
