If it is a grass seed, it will need to be removed.They think that’s what it could be
She’s a westie bad for licking paws. We only put sock on at night, but never thought off it reinfecting thanksIf it is a grass seed, it will need to be removed.
The other thing that comes to mind, is that when it bursts, the sock is retaining the infection and reinfecting the wound.
What sort of dog do you have ?
Must be a clean sock every nightShe’s a westie bad for licking paws. We only put sock on at night, but never thought off it reinfecting thanks
Yes it is, will phone vets when opensMust be a clean sock every night

Generally it will grow out, just as it would with humansBramble been to vets, antibiotics and more cream, to continue bathing in salt water and sock at night. Asked what was causing it, she said could just be an ingrown hair
Am not sure it is an ingrown hair, seems to get them more in summer, only time will tell. To see how she is this week, send them a photoGenerally it will grow out, just as it would with humans
Haha! I saw that online this week too. Made me chuckle

Don’t think so as paw been examined, am thinking more summer allergiesCould it be a thorn, they can cause infection.
The pollen count is high at the moment and that can make them lick their pawsDon’t think so as paw been examined, am thinking more summer allergies
That might be worth tryingThe pollen count is high at the moment and that can make them lick their paws
We give Amber Piriton, one in the morning or at night if and only "if" she starts paw licking
Last antibiotic the day, looks like it’s healing thanksHope your pooches tootsies are feeling much better soon.
It’s those ‘dart’ grass seeds that get into the paws of mine
I hardly remember seeing any of them when I was a kid, but there are bazillions around the pavements here every summer these days, and every one explodes into so many nasty barbed needles 😱
