Hi all, last Friday night I noticed that Spalding was licking his paw, I did not give much attention because he does it sometimes. Yesterday in the afternoon I caught him licking it again and I decided to see what was going on. I noticed that the bottom of his paw was red. THere is no cuts, just red, I thought it would be some kind of irritation, so I decided to put some cream for mosquito bites I have at home. This morning, I noticed that the area is swollen and red. I read some articles on this forum, and washed the area with water and salt, put a sock on his paw, but he still trying to bite the area. I've just washed the area with soap and I left the area with no socks. Is it a good idea?
My husband went to a pet store, and people there told him it would be food allergy. I've been feeding him Science Diet puppy large breed < 1year for 4 months and this is the 1st time I heard that his food would be causing it. Do you think so?!
Tomorrow I will take him to the vet to see what is going on...I am so worried, he's been sleeping a lot today, and I don't know what to do.... He's played with my husband, run around the house; however, it is noticeable that is bothering him.
Any help is appreciated. It is really sad to see my little one suffering.
Thanks.
