Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. I would recommend starting topical therapy in addition to what your vet previously prescribed. I would recommend starting a shampoo such as Douxo PS calm shampoo and bathe twice weekly. I would also recommend using welactin omega 3 fish oil and essential 6 spot on by dermoscent. Malacetic conditioning spray is a great option to treat localized irritation such as the paw pads and you can use this spray 2-3 times per day to manage the discomfort.

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! It is not possible to know this without an examination. You may be referring to irritation secondary to allergies. I highly recommend that you consider having him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They would be able to check for this possibility and treat accordingly. Good luck and have a great day!

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! It is difficult to know without being able to examine her. This could be a benign or malignant growth. There is no way of knowing what it is just based on its appearance. This is often differentiated by a test called a fine needle aspirate (FNA) which is a pain free, inexpensive and easy procedure which in most cases will help reach a diagnosis. Sometimes a biopsy is needed for a definitive diagnosis. I recommend that you have her evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. I am really hoping for something benign. Good luck and have a good day!

Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. Based on the pictures you have provided, the problem could be associated with an allergy, infection or a immune-mediated disease. I would recommend trying a product called malacetic conditioning spray and apply to the area until resolved. You may have to see your veterinarian to discuss alternative treatment options such as steroid therapy or immunomodulatory therapy to treat and immune-mediated disease. Feline plasma cell pododermatitis can appear like this and treatment is suppressing the immune system and antibiotic therapy. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further
