Algy has this problem and its just the way his big, clubby paws are shaped. He drags his one leg terribly, and as a result, he doesn't really get to go on walks. We tried booties and also cushioned socks, but nothing really seemed to work. He seems ok without the walks. His weight is good and so far, so good. But the tops of his feet right near where the nail comes out were rubbed raw and bled, so at first we kept him on the grass, and now, he just lays outside for the most part. It's just his…

It's just his luck I guess. He seems happy though. Of course, he's an old man. Not sure what to tell you about a youngster. :( It's do-able. You just have some downsides. Best of luck!!

I wonder if it's just a habit, like kids scraping their shoes as they walk? Indicative of nothing except idiosyncrasy?

This is not an uncommon occurance with dogs. Most of the time it is merely the way they travel. Their specific conformation sometimes is the only factor. If she is not showing any sort of pain or this is not a change since she came I vote with your sister. Find a way to protect her feet. Good luck!

She could of had an injury that is causing this as well and a simple acupuncture or chiropractic care might be all that is needed but ultimately you need to see the neurologist or atleast a vet to evaluate health issues. If a damaged nerve is left go for too long it can never be repaired..its damaged for life.

Our Mace had that problem. It is a type of neuropathy, probably congenital. The quicks will recede. We tried booties, but all that we tried would not stay on that little stocky ankle. We tried to walk her in the grass as much as possible, but she preferred the sidewalk (?). I guess with her neuropathy there was too much drag in the grass. It didn't cause a big problem, mostly an occasional bleeding nail. She lived 15 years that way.
