Hi all,
Our girl Hallie (6yrs) has lost most of the fur on her front paws. We thought that she might be biting it off herself, but there’s no open areas at all. Last week when we discovered it, her paws were both red and inflamed. Been treating with topical Bactroban ointment in case of staph, and doing daily Epsom salt soaks. Inflammation has gone down quite a bit but the skin still looks quite red. Her pads are not swollen. Any thoughts on what this could be? Vet trusts what we thought with the bumblefoot but just looking for other recommendations if any. We were thinking possibly ringworm but the skin is not flaky or dry and it’s isolated to just her front paws. Thoughts?
