I had noticed when I first got Cleo that her paws are very soft, so I was taking it really easy on her as far as outside activity goes. I think that we overdid it the other day at the dog park. We went to the dog part in Littleton for about an hour, and of course Cleo ran the whole time and had a wonderful time. That night I noticed that she was limping a little bit and saw that her paws had a few holes in the pads and were a little swollen. She was a good sport about me cleaning the up and putting musher's wax on them but I am still surprised at how sensitive her feet really are. She must have been in a pen or wasn't walked much by whoever had her before.
She also split one of her toenails. I went to Petsmart and a man working there brought her in to the groomer's area and filed it down for free. My concern is that her toenails seem to split even when they are well trimmed. The pads seem to be healing quickly and hopefully they will heal a little tougher than they were before!
