It looks like Harvey is finally over his skin infection in/on his left front paw - phew. He does have a little dry/red sore patch on one of his back paws though, but it changes daily from looking fine to being red and isn't presenting the same as his front infection. The vet had a look when we took him back for a check and said it's probably completely unrelated. I have a picture on my phone but it's too big to upload 😔
All this has made me realise I feel very unprepared for minor ailments, in winter in particular. I feel like a bad owner
Is there anything I can do to help prevent his paws getting sore or damaged during winter? We're in Scotland so perhaps it is a little more wet than other places and we do go on some soggy adventures. He also enjoys a puddle, a small loch, a bog, a ditch...
Related to this, are there any good online resources/books for stuff like this? My go to is always books but I've yet to find the dog owning bible in paper form!
Thank you in advance but also, in general because I don't know what I'd do without the AAD board!
