Pad Problem

Blue Briar Kennel · Post by **Blue Briar Kennel** » Mon Oct 01, 2007 7:08 am

I have a male that I have been doctoring for 2 weeks now. His pads are starting to heal but it seems like it is taking forever. Is this normal? Do some hounds have alot of problems with their pads all the time? Is it a genetic defect or is it pretty common? His pads seem to have the same texture as my other hounds. This is the first hound that I have had that had any problems at all with their pads.

I had a dog that had really bad pad problems before. He would keep chewing and licking on them and making them worse. I had to buy some of those little boot things for dogs to keep him from chewing on his feet. Once I got him from chewing and licking his feet it didn't take anytime for them to heal....

try some zinc supplement in his diet. the smallest zinc pill that you can get. it helps with skin health and made a difference when my hound had foot problems. carolyn
