Have you experienced a corn or callous on your foot? If so then you know how painful they can be. Did you know that your dog can get something similar on his paws too? If you think your dog may be developing a corn on his paw, contact your vet. Corns typically appear on the digital, metacarpal or metatarsal paw pads of dogs. Most of these skin lesions are found on the digital paw pads of breeds like greyhounds, but may be found in other breeds as well. Signs of corn development include visible pain to your dog when pressure is applied to the paw when walking. You may notice excessive nail growth on the particular paw due to lack of use. If you have to take your dog in for an orthopedic examination, make sure a paw pad examination is included. Consult with your vets Pembroke Pines, FL for treatment recommendations.
