Guest greyvettech Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 (edited) I thought I would chime in. I had a problem with Nibs' foot when I first got him. He kept getting an open wound in between his toes (same place each time). We had been out running and playing quite a bit, so thought it was a puncture wound that kept getting infected. I took him to the vet and he was given antibiotics, but it came back again. Someone mentioned to me to have him checked for parasites. I had him checked and he did turn out to have worms - can't remember which kind. He was treated for those, and he has never had the issue with the toes again. Just a thought when I read your post. Hookworms! - The larvae can penetrate through the foot pads.... Edited February 1, 2009 by greyvettech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LindsaySF Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Glad he's feeling better. Don't let him lick the foot. Moisture between the toes will encourage bacterial growth, even yeast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
