Craven's Haven

Hey Lisa this one is for you,

My bully has white paws and his two front paws are a little pink in color--we took him to the vet and he said it was from licking them.  I keep an eye on them and check in between the toes to make sure there are no cysts and I even examine the bottom part to make sure there are no cuts or anything that may have gotten stuck there.

Is the pink from licking and if so does it go away?

Hi Siobain!

Glad you could join in...........well could be  multiple of things....one of the first things come to mind is boardom. The weather is definately a factor as well.......mine dont even want to go outside right now I have to chace them out with a lounge whip! R the sours just pink in skin color or are they in fact bald?

Hey Lisa,

No there not bald--just pink on his fur.  He's crazy for all his chew toys so I'm surprised that you mention it could be that he's board--we still keep him in his crate while we're at work & its only for 4 hour intervals-but I guess it could be that he's lonely and board because as soon as we see him everyday he gets extremely excited especially when he see's Erik-I hope thats all it is.  So far with the crazy weather we have no problems getting him to go out as a matter of fact we take him out in the snow and then we can't get him back in the house:) Let me know what you think?

sounds like your bullys feet are just stained from his own saliva.Kind of like having tear stains,but on his feet.I would also suggest maybe he is allergic to something in his environment(his food or treats maybe).Having an allergic reaction,even mild,causes them to lick their feet.I am no expert just giving my opinion.

yes if you have ever seen a white dog with fleas or other issues were they chew at there tail/back they actually get stains from there saliva the same like carrie said with the tear staining almost get rust colored Now I know Siobain feeds the Life's Abundance unless like carrie said allergy of maybe a treat or laundry detergent?

Yes--we feed him life's abundance and I also just got him the life's abundence anti-oxident treats--every now and then we give him one he also gets a liver treat when he's really good.  It probably an allergic reaction:)  We also like to give him a hard boiled egg every now and then--IS THIS OKAY?   Is there anything I can put on his paws to get rid of the stains?:)
