Excellent advice. Thank you! I'll look into those booties.

Hi all, my 4 year old Johnny has a spot on his foot that seems to be wearing away and becoming a wound. Johnny's right rear foot has a deformed toe and I suspect it makes his foot hit the ground in a different way than the other, non-deformed feet. Do you have any suggestions on how to handle something like this? I'm concerned a balm will soften the skin and make things worse.
Pad on foot worn off by running?

My grey ran in the backyard this morning with some other dogs, playing chase up and down the fenced-in yard edge. Two dogs on the other side of the fence, one on his side (my other pup, not a grey), running along a mostly dirt track. When he got back inside, I noticed he was bleeding. He seems to have worn off or torn off a bit of the surface of his paw pad (about the size of a dime or nickel: see image attached). Does anyone have suggestions of 1) how to protect this while healing, and 2) any thoughts on how to protect him in the future? I don't want to keep him from running; he loves it. But I also want to keep the poor guy safe.
