What to do if your dog’s paws are red and swollen

Firstly, the owner needs to immediately check the dog’s fleshy pads and toes for foreign objects and help the dog to remove them, or if they have caused deep wounds, they can be treated in hospital. The owner needs to stop the bleeding and clean the affected area, disinfect it and finally apply an anti-inflammatory ointment. Secondly, fungal and bacterial infections. If the dog also shows signs of itchy paws, it may have interdigital toe infection and the owner needs to treat the dog promptly.
