I have recently noticed when playing with Pip she has some darker areas on the fur on her paws (near her - 'dew claw area')....
On closer inspection it seems its like a teeny bit of browny dirt (not poo), maybe like dry mud stuck on?
It worried me as I check and ensure they are clean and not soiled...obviously especially in the summer....but I cant understand what or why she has this?
Admittedly this is the bit of her paw which she 'uses' to wash herself, ie rubs her eyes, ears etc - but I dont understand why it has got like this?
She is quite fluffy and tomorrow, my sister and I are going to try and brush it out and maybe slightly trim the area to prevent further problems...
Just wondered if anyone else has these problems?!
