Just a question. Mikey has dry paw pads-they aren't bleeding and no indication they are sore. Hes had two physicals since we brought him home six months ago but to be honest I can't remember her checking his pads...
At any rate-this isn't an emergency. My vet is off until next week I believe (like I know she's off but I think she's back in Monday) and like I said-it's bothering me not him
I have a 'thing' about dry skin and when he touches me with his pads (high five and shake) it's icky
So I looked up products you can use. And I want to know what you've used and/or if one isn't ok.
I've read that vaseline, hand lotion in a pinch, and bag balm (it's for cow udders) are good to use. Thoughts?
I'm wondering about preperation H (hem cream

) -we use that on rabbit's sore hocks-so I have some in my first aid kit. Rabbits are generally more senstive then dogs-and definitely have a more senstive GI tract-so my thoughts are this would be a safe thing to use. On effectiveness-while women who don't seem to age use this on their face (I can't bring myself to do so lol) so it's an intense moisturizer....what do you guys think about prep h?
For tonight I'm going to use a sensitive skin moisturizer (for people) on one paw and see how that goes. But I'd love more thoughts on the issue
