Peb's hind paws are looking a bit scraggy these days...he does have fur covering it all but in some areas there is only a small amout of fur and the fuller areas of fur kihda brush over the lesser furry part to provide a better covering...if that makes sense!
I brushed his fur to one side and notice that on both feet there are lil red areas...they're not sores/ wounds but the skin does look quite raw....could it be sore hocks? is his skin just a lil sore from where there has been a loss of fur in this area? Took a few pics....they seem to show it ok...just wondering what I can do to help him...is there any sort of specific cream I could rub into the area?
Also is it normal that the heel of the paw has a lil lump there like it is the 'ball' of his paw?
Just a raw looking ball on one paw
Normal
bigger area on the other paw
normal
