Webbed paw pads?

Today, as I was taking Charlie on a walk, he was sniffing a spot on the grass and all of a sudden a loud bark from the neighbors yard scared both him and I! Soon after the scare, he started limping on his front paw but then kinda shook it off. Towards the end of the walk, he was limping again after lifting his leg up to pee but then walked it off.

I thought he could have stepped or tripped on something after being scared from the bark so when I took him home, I washed his paws, looked and found nothing. I did find something weird though which I don't think I had seen or payed attention before, it seemed like his paws are webbed together at the end? I don't really know how to explain it so I attached a picture.

I'm not really sure if it has anything to do with the incident today but I thought I would let you know and get some feedback. =]

Thank you in advance!

If anyone can't see the picture, here is a link,

Thanks for the reply. I took her to the vet on Friday and her feet are fine. She has some soft tissue damage to her left hind leg. She's on an anti-inflammatory and I'm seeing some improvement.
