Dog owners will understand

Has the vet ruled out a grass seed

They think that’s what it could be

If 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 ?

Bramble 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

Generally it will grow out, just as it would with humans

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 photo

Could it be a thorn, they can cause infection.

Don’t think so as paw been examined, am thinking more summer allergies

The 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

That might be worth trying

Hope 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 😱
