why did my dog’s paws suddenly turn red and swollen?
One day, I noticed my dog limping and licking his paws nonstop. When I checked, his paws were bright red and a little swollen. My first thought was that he’d stepped on something sharp, but I couldn’t find anything stuck. I rinsed his paws with cool water and let him rest, but the licking didn’t stop.
After a quick trip to the vet, I learned about pododermatitis. Turns out, dogs can get red paws from allergies, overactivity, or even just walking on hot pavement. The vet suggested switching up his food and keeping his walks short during allergy season. I also started washing his paws after walks and trimming his nails more often.
Now, whenever I see him licking his paws a lot, I check for redness or swelling. Catching it early makes a huge difference!
