Hi Everyone, I have a female GSP that is 9 months old. I am concerned because her toe is very swollen and her paw pad is falling off. First her toe was swollen and then I noticed the paw pad flaking off. It seemed to not be bothering her until tonight. Her toe is now bleeding and she keeps licking it. Also I am not sure if this could be related at all but her nose has always been dry, ever since she was a puppy and all of her paw pads seem dry as well. I asked the vet about the dry nose when I last took her in and he did not seem to be concerned. I attached photos. Please if anyone has any clue what is going on or home remedies it would be greatly appreciated.
I do not think that anyone on a messageboard can help - and I agree with what has been said, please take your pup to the vet because we cannot help you here. I hope your pup is OK but only a vet can diagnose and/or treat infections.
I would be concerned if this was my dog, and think that I would get a second opinion from a different vet. You could try using a little coconut oil to moisturise her nose pad, but her toes need treating professionally.
