I was playing fetch with Triley this weekend on asphalt and he seemed fine and happy the whole time and was fine on the walk home (no limping). But, when we got home I noticed that his carpal pads on his front legs were just raw and almost bloody. I think that he skinned off all of the dead skin and scraped them up while scooching to a halt when he was retrieving the ball. We flushed them with a rinse from the vet and also sprayed antibotics on them (also from the vet) and they seem to be healing, but the whole incident was so strange. Have any of you had this happen with your corgis? I feel like such a bad corgi-mom to have let this happen!
(I included an image of carpal pads - they are labeled E - that I found on the internet)
