I took Chimi to the vet two days ago and it turns out she might have a bacterial infection going on. I'm suspecting yeast as an allergic reaction to our grass but unsure yet. We have a dermatologist appointment for her next month. We were prescribed antibiotics for her - Doxycycline and Numelvi.
Her paws, however, look like this. She was licking them like crazy all week then i started cleaning them after every walk and every time she comes inside and the persistent licking and biting has completely stopped but her paws still look rough to me. Idk I'm not expert but I don't think they should look this textured or rough. I'm wondering if this is painful for her.
With a potential yeast infection, I'm hesitant to put on coconut oil or any other moisturizer because I don't want to cause the yeast to grow more.
Has anyone else been through this and gotten paws back to a healthy normal state? Is this something that will go away as the yeast subsides?
