Dog has paw lesions, vet tests normal. Is it Alabama Rot?

So this is a change in her paws that has occurred over time? Are all of the paws equally affected? did your vet take xrays? if you could resubmit your question with a picture we will do our best to help, but I'm trying to imagine what you mean by her paws appear "flat." thanks!

Sorry to hear about Sooty's discomfort. If you could potentially post this question again with some pictures of the lesions, I or another expert might be able to give you a more informed opinion on the matter. There are many different possible problems that might be the cause of the Sooty's problems. If the discomfort is bad enough that you believe it is affecting his life, I would recommend having your local vet examine the affected regions. At the very least, he might be able to prescribe medications aimed at controlling pain and inflammation. He may also be able to help differentiate if the cause of the problem is something dermatologic, cancerous, or another process entirely. Hope this makes sense.

Hello. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. It would be much easier for us to give you advice if we could see what you are referring to. Can you please post again with some photos? All I can advise you to do without seeing photos is to soak the feet in dilute Betadine solution (1:10 dilution) for 10 minutes twice a day. Please post again with photos so we can better help you. Thank you!

It actually looks like a wart but it difficult for me to say just by looking at a photo. It could also be the beginning of a tumor. This does not appear to be an injury or a crack from dryness so I don't think the Paw Guard will be much help. She really should see a vet for this issue. I don't think it's an emergency but I would try to take her for an exam in the next week or so. In the meantime you should apply a triple antibiotic ointment like Neosporin (not the one with pain medication in it, just the plain one).

Hello. I’m sorry but it does not appear that any photos were successfully attached to your post. Please try to post and upload the photos again. It would be helpful to see them. These may be hotspots or some other type of infected skin lesion.

I'm not sure I would be overly worried about this at this stage but if you are worried you should have Jake examined by your vet. You know Jake best. Many skin lesions will look similar grossly so it is hard to say if this is Alabama Rot or not. Alabama rot is pretty rare overall so I think the chances of that being the diagnosis is slim. If you are worried you should definitely have him examined by your vet. Better to be safe than sorry. Best wishes.

If you are posting photos they are not coming through. There must be a glitch in the system. I apologize for that but unfortunately I cannot comment much without a photo. All I can say is that many skin diseases look the same. The only way you are going to get a diagnosis is by taking her to the vet and having an exam and some testing done. Even if I saw the photo I would just be guessing. In a younger dog the most common things to cause a hairless spot are ringworm and mange but there are other possibilities. Sorry, that is the best I can tell you right now. Maybe try posting again tomorrow and hopefully the photos will be showing up.
