If you’ve ever had a corn or callous on your foot then you know how sensitive and painful a corn can be. Did you know that our canine friends can get corns on their feet or paws as well? If you think your dog may be developing a corn on his paw, contact your vet Wake Forest, NC to schedule an exam. Corns typically appear on the digital, metacarpal or metatarsal paw pads of dogs. Most of these skin lesions are found on the digital paw pads of breeds like greyhounds, but may be found in other breeds as well. Signs of corn development include visible pain to your dog when pressure is applied to the paw when walking. You may notice excessive nail growth on the particular paw due to lack of use. If you have to take your dog in for an orthopedic examination, make sure a paw pad examination is included.
