Sore toes

[sheimer]

My female caught a few coons last night in the willow trees and today she is really sore footed. Between her toes is all moist and irritated looking. She has a nasty habbit of thinking she has opposable thumbs and thinks she can climb. Do you suppose they are sore from climbing or did she get into something else? Kinda looks like athlete's foot.

IT could be a couple of things. Probably bacteria or fungus. Your feed store should have Nalvosan scrub, wash her feet in it, dry and put powder Desenex {antifungal] from the drug store. Water, salt and vinegar wash may do it if it is just bacteria and soft feet. Dewey

did the dog have any sores before you went out? if not sounds like you just have soft feet.how much do you hunt the dog?long toe nails? just a though.I know if my dog don't get out much there feet will tend to get that raw look betwen there toes also.good luck to you.

Lord knows that she doesn't get out often enough! I assume that it's just sore feet from lack of use. I've just never seen the "goo" between the toes before. She seems to be much better today. If it hangs on any longer, I'll try the Nolvisan.

Thanks,
