This one is a new one for me. I took Ilya to a park and let him off leash. He had a blast running as fast as he can, always keeping me in sight. .......... Ok about 1 hour later we go home and he's a happy doggy. Later that night, he starts limping and I can't tell why until I checked his paws. He has tender paws I suppose and isn't used to running outside very much. They are a bit raw (all 4 of them) and he has trouble walking on them. No bleeding, but he is constantly licking them.
Now I'm wondering... dow paws toughen up like our feet grows callous? I'm going to let them heal on their own unless his paws start to look infected or he won't walk.
We walk a lot but I haven't let him run freely for about a year because of his heartworm treatment and earlier breathing problems. I guess that's how he developed tender paws.
