Hi all,
I noticed last night Bear has bumps in between his toes and pads on his two front paws. They are red and irritated looking too. Just a little bit ago I saw that two of the bumps now have open sores on them. No blood or anything, just raw looking. There is no odor, I don't believe it's yeast. I soaked it in chlorhexidine and put some neosporin on it then bandaged him up to keep it clean. I can get a picture tomorrow when I unwrap his paw.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? Could it be allergies? He has had runny poo on and off since we brought him home at 10 weeks. He's gone from firm to liquid to firm to soft serve to really firm- Everytime I was about to call the vet he would firm up. I have a one year old who likes to sneak Bear some snacks every now and then which I assume is contributing. His energy level is fine and he drinks a ton of water so I'm not too concerned about dehydration. He has been wormed and is UTD on all his vaccines.
Since tomorrow is Sunday I figured I would ask you guys since I'll probably get more info here than the vet's anyways lol His paw doesn't seem to bother him unless I'm touching were the bumps are. He has been itching too, but I haven't seen any fleas on him.. He's on Fromm Gold. I'm assuming it's some sort of grain intolerance causing all of this- I just have a feeling. Once I get some opinions from you guys and talk to the vet Monday, I am going to pick up either Earthborn Holistic or Fromm Four Stars. Unless you guys have better recommendations? I'd like to try Acana but SO says that it's a last resort food since it's so expensive
I'd be freaking out a lot more if he seemed to be in pain or distressed, but he's acting fine. I only noticed because I was drying his paws off after his bath last night!

Maybe it will help his poop firm up!
