Have you ever had a corn or callus form on the bottom of your foot? They can be painful, right? Well dogs can have corns and calluses form on the bottom of their feet too. In fact, they can come up on the dog’s paws. The corns and calluses can be painful, uncomfortable and cause your dog to be extremely sensitive to simple things like walking or getting up and moving around in the house. If your dog is having trouble walking or is limping, please call your vet and schedule a checkup. Your vet can tell you that corns often appear on the digital, metacarpal or metatarsal paw pads of dogs. Dogs with skin lesions on the paw pads often include greyhounds as the primary breed. Signs of corns or calluses include pain when getting up or walking. There could also be excessive nail growth due to not using the paw. Check in with your vet Aurora, CO right away.
