My newest problem with Coty is her paws. I noticed she walked funny when we went for a walk and I assumed it was all due to her just being out of shape and not fed well, but I noticed her paw pads hurt her. So I think that is also adding in her walking a little funny. I grabbed one paw pad and got some bag balm on it, she totally yelped like it hurt her, but now I can touch the one paw bad that I quickly got the stuff on. The other paw pads she just pulls away from me and kinda sits on. Her paw pads are tearing up my comforter because they are so rough. I don't really care about those as much as I do about her pain. I can tell they hurt her. I read on a site that I could put antibiotic cream on them, put a gauze pads on the paw pads and then a doggie boot. Also to stand her in 2 inches of water that has Epson salt in it. The site said in about 10 days her feet should be healed up.

Anyone have any other suggestions? I am going to have to wrestler her down to get the stuff on her feet or trick her and just do one foot at a time, real fast, and get it on her paw and let her go. She whimpers when I touch them and she runs and hides too, poor girl, just another thing to add to her misery.
