Dew claw pads

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • Hi guys-

    Just wanted to know if anyone has seen this before. Piggy pads near her dew claws are looking awfully white and cracked, but the cracked pieces are almost coming out in sprout-like formations. I just noticed it and am going to make a vet appt, but has anyone seen this?? They are not bothering her at all she hasn't even been licking or biting them and seems healthy otherwise. Think its a fungus?

    -Thanks!

    I use a little heavier emollient than vaseline (Aquaphor) and massage it in. It doesn't seem to rub off as easy as vaseline. The whole family uses it as well. Chapped hands, lips, etc..It works great, and faster IMO.

    I use tea tree oil on everything. Its the "anti Basenji" tool in our house. Alex will tease me all the time. I apply it to anything I don't want the dogs to lick off. Paws, an insect bite I don't want them to lick, a rash, etc. Its also a great antiseptic and helps the healing process too. I just love it!!!!

    I'm so glad to hear that Alex has gotten some relief and rest. I'm sorry to hear about you daughter being ill now. I hope she's doing better real soon.
