Question

Bubble between my Dogs   QUESTION: My dog has a bubble between two of his toes on two different paws. He has
had this problem before on one paw but it goes away, and now it is starting
on another paw. What is it and how can I help him?

Thank you for any help!
P.S. I'm sorry if this is the second question from me, I forgot to add the
picture

ANSWER: Hi Alexis- I would have the vet take a look at this next time you are in for your vaccinations.
If you want I can help with some supplements - Also, some Benadryl may reduce some of this inflammation...
Most vets will offer 1-2 mg per every pound ( of Benadryl)-
Example - a 20 lb dog can have 20 to 40 mg of Benadryl every 12 hrs.
SEE what you vet says about this.

What foods are you feeding?
Does this happen only in the Spring or Summer months?
ARE you taking any ( giving any supplements)

QUESTION: The food I give him is Origen fresh fish dry food wet pedigree wet food.
I think that it only happens in the summer, its happened 4 times before.
And he doesn't get any supplements.


Answer

NuVET wafers or powder   Canine hematoma on paw; Black Ointment for paw ; canine ulcerations on paw;
How is your dog's paw?  What did the vet say about it?


Hi - Ok, Let's get him off the Pedigree canned and place him on some Wellness Core or Innova Evo Canned wet food -  You can do the Origen dry and topper of 2 teaspoons of Wet per meal.

Also, Sounds like Environmental Allergies are hitting this kid.
Yes, I have some ideas for you:

1.  Black Ointment for the paw areas - Black ointment is all natural and made by Nature's Sunshine : see here:  use 1 x daily or areas in question.  ( good for the humans in the family, too...)
Very healing for cuts, sores and ulcerations.
1 oz jar - Black Ointment

2.  Please start this kid on the NuVET Wafer program - Give 1 1/2 per day long term ( spring and summer months) - this is an Allergy Blaster and Immune system booster... YOU will see results in less than 2 weeks ...ALSO, this NuVET should help prevent future episodes of this allergic reaction.

Call 1-800-474-7044  Tell them referral code 81098 and my name Marie Peppers - Let them know that I want you on 1 1/2 per day.  MOST dogs only need 1 per day of the NuVET Wafers.
