I don't suppose it would help and maybe Gail has tried it already but our Lucy used to have very bad problems with her feet in certain months of the year. Mum used to put some oatmeal in the bottom of an old stocking and tie it up and then stand Lucy in a dish of warm water with the oatmeal stocking in it. she would squeeze the oatmeal stocking all over Lu's feet. It really helped her a lot. She wouldn't rinse it off either. Just let it dry off naturally. It didn't cure Lu but it sure helped her.

Mum nearly flipped her lid when she spotted the one of your cute little derriere. Oh and I'm so glad you've got that soft collar thing instead of the old cone. So much more comfy, aye and you're right ..... a black beret to go with it would be very becoming and I'm sure it would earn you some very tasty treats.

Believe me, I have tried various forms of protective footwear, but the weatherproof ones (even the supposedly soft ones) are still stiff enough to be very uncomfortable on his sores and so Bertie will not move an inch when wearing them. I even tried a bigger size and lining them with baby socks, but still to no avail..So I have concluded that walking him where possible on dry ground ( which can be hard to find in the Scottish winter) and washing his feet the minute we get back is the best option for now. Since last week, I have also been asking his dog walkers to wash his feet post-walk, something I had previously been reluctant to do as although he's fine with the bathing bit, he doesn't at all like having is paws patted dry, even very gently. But this new routine does seem to be helping damp down the itchiness, reinforcing the theory that the problem is some sort of contact allergy.
