- Most dog owners don't give much thought to their pet's paw health. Paws are not immune to health problems. If left untreated, an issue with a dog's paw could lead to a more serious health concern. Knowing how to treat an infected paw on a dog is crucial information that every owner should have. topdogtips.com/infected-paw-o...
If you don't notice an issue until infection sets in, it's not too late. As long as the infection isn't severe, you should be able to treat the problem at home. This guide will go over how to treat an infected paw using supplies that you probably already have in your medicine cabinet.
"You only need to use peroxide once. It kills all of the bacteria in the wound, even the "good" bacteria that is helping to heal the area. After you've flushed with peroxide the first time, use water when cleaning the wound in the future."

My dog was limping for about 2 weeks. I took him to the vet.($350). They took x-rays and said his hip was not aligned and he would need to have surgery($2400). Gave him pain medicine and said they would schedule surgery the following month. A few weeks later I noticed his paw was very red as well as a swollen bruise on his hind leg. I watched this video and did everything she said. The next day my dog was already walking better. I also bought some dog antibacterial spray and in 3 days he was back running. So thanks for saving me $2500.00. 😊
What the heck is wrong with them. I would definitely go to a different place after that.
I’ll. Check mine tomorrow y poor dog is on pain
Time to tell the world about that thief. Most vets now days are in it for the 350k second home.
Oh wow. Get that place on the news !
What hydrogen peroxide did you use?
Most helpful advertisement I have ever seen to cure a dog Paul. Thanks very much
Love your content! You’ve actually inspired us to take our established cat and dog tips blog and launch our own TH-cam channel and we hope our channel becomes as successful as this one. The inspiration is appreciated. Thank you!
There is a far better recovery collar than the lampshade style called a 'Cervical Collar'. It is a collar that fits the length of the neck and is very effective and does not get caught on objects or make the dog feel humiliated. I used them at my local shelter when I was an animal specialist. Highly recommended.
I am so happy that I found this video. I started getting really scared that my dog had a parasite of some sort.. I will try this
Thank you for this info!
Sadie was trying to look as inconspicuous and obscure as possible when you pulled that cone out LOL!! Reminds me on my dog
Thank you so much for uploading this video, it saved me so much money, I did exactly what you said and after 2 days the swollen leg was back to normal. Blessings to you and thanks again ✌❤🇱🇨
Very helpful info thanks 👍🏼
Thank you. it helped me and my doggy, Jake :)
Awesome advice thanks
GREAT video. that's exactly what I've been doing.
Thank you this really helped my dog 🐕😘
The side glance stink eye of Sadie when she glimpsed the cone of shame... hilarious. Oh and this was helpful thanks, I don't need to go to the vet at this stage as I think it'll be something I can help fix, like this vid recommends. Of course I'll use my judgement to take her if it gets worse or beyond home remedy. Hoping this is all I need. Thank you!
Thank you it helps a lot😍😍😍😍
Thank you!!
God bless you!
U a much better than doctor .thank you very much
My dog isn't limping or her paws blessing but she's a chiwawa-yorkie and whenever I touch her paws he tries to bit me and runs away I got a holdbofbher to see one of the front and it felt as if it was growing to fast or something of the sort
Love the video thank you so much! May I just suggest instead of the cone of shame, they have the blow-up ones like the kids use in water They're round and less cumbersome, easier on the dog.👍great video❤❤❤👍
Kelli Quinn , the blowups are great, will never use a cone again.
@@Truther567 one of the better inventions that's for sure❤👍😁
You were so kind to comment
Where do you get the blow up ones?

Petco or chewy pretty sure I saw them at PetSmart as well
Hi and awesome, my pitbull keeps licking her hine leg and has been limping for about 3 days, I looked but couldn't find anything, is it possible she got a splinter or thorn of some sort. What should I do
What antibiotics would you prefer like I've tried erythromycin neomycin but won't work
This happened to our foxred lab. He started limping first and then I observed that his right paw was swollen. Messaged the vet since we were home quarantined. Told me to put warm compress. There and then, I saw that there was something black, don’t know if that was a wound and then by midnight, I saw blood oozing from the infected paw. Didn’t take a chance. I ask someone to bring him to the vet the next morning. They cleaned his paw and told me that it was interdigital furuncolosis. He’s okay now. He got better after two days. 😊
I check my dog everyday and whenever I see his paws a bit red, I spray him with allergy spray and put Vaseline in between the toes by the next day everything is back to normal
Does ointment work?
After using Peroxide do I rinse off then cream ? Or just peroxide then cream
i have done that before, peroxide, also cleans other spots. you should also check for bumps, can be cancer, which is where my dog's cancer started
@Zsavage1 no she passed away from cancer, a very rare form, histiocytic carcinoma, i found the bump when she was a puppy, but the vet i was seeing refused to do anything, even when the biopsy came back as possible cancer, it came back 15 yrs later in the same place.
@Zsavage1 i am so very sorry for your loss, i dont use chemicals in my yard for this reason. i go to a homeopathic vet and use all natural products. thank goodness my neighbors do not leave close to me. i dont understand why people are such idiots and do not take into concern/care of their neighbors, i have very nasty neighbors but thank goodness, i dont see them, i live on 11 + acres. i wish you could have sued them.
@Zsavage1 nice to know, i need to get rid of some squirrels that love my house and drive my dogs crazy. thank you.
Thank you 😊,i upload videos of my dog
My dog has an unbroken blister on her paw pad that’s causing pressure and pain when she walks. Will this cure it? I don’t want to pop it as it will allow for bacteria to get in
So my dogs paw is swollen, but her paw is like red, and she keeps licking it and biting it. I noticed it when I was watching TH-cam videos and she started yelping I look over to see what was wrong and she is biting at her paw and yelping some more. So I got her to stop, fed her, and then she still tried to lick it, what do it do?
I'm gonna try this. I have a Bulldog in the home who isn't mine, but applying coconut oil (which was obviously helping) got me yelled at. This type of short hair dog is prone to interdigital cysts. The owner blames the dog and says it's from digging in the yard although there's no evidence of digging, and has never tried to do a simple search online. My desire to help has been met with accusation and worse. I was putting warm coconut oil on the single cyst, and it helped considerably but as it was clearing up I was told that I was making it worse. Later I gave the paws salt soaks as often as I could (secretly) and I could tell that made him feel better although now he has 3 cysts, all on the front paws (the original one I treated is gone now but I was not at the house for several weeks and he developed more in his other toes). He has been living with this for months, not hours. He doesn't limp but he doesn't like people touching the front paws--he only lets me because I pet him real good and give him treats after but sometimes he does give me a little warning. He also will stay on his bed for long periods, probably to avoid the hard floor and walking in general. I'm gonna get peroxide right away and start with that. I might try the Neosporin since the coconut oil he finds tasty and will lick it off. Unfortunately, I have no way to take him to the vet. It is something the owner refuses to allow. Others have offered to pay the bill. He claims that's not possible because vets don't have the proper muzzle for a flat-faced dog but they are readily available online. I just feel I have to help this poor dog. He must be in so much pain all the time.
Hey! 😊
I'm so sorry to hear about that poor dog. 😔 Were you able to help him out?
@@carla_deeanne I did use peroxide and the dog felt better. I gave him coconut oil and cleaned his paws which he looked forward to. eventually he developed a frightening lump in his throat forcing the owner to take him to the vet where he got antibiotics. That made his cysts go way down as well as clearing the throat infection. Now he jumps around happily. I can only hope the owners eyes have been opened. ❤
If the owner continues to neglect the dog please take it with you or report it🥺

Peroxide not poisoness? & How do you do the treatmments mentioned & him not lick it off? Booty? Thx!!
Sometimes their paws hurt so much and are so irritated that they are super resistant. Our dog sees me open the cream tube and runs. I have to sneak up on her. I can get her to stand in the bath for a few mins and let paws soak in warm water with epsom salt. I just give her a paw bath not her whole body.
Brought my dog to the vet four days ago for a slightly swollen paw. Vet said to put antibiotic Ointment on it keep it clean and dry.
Tonight I looked at it and it’s twice the size. It is assumed that there was a cut or damage to the paw, The veterinarian could not find it upon examination. I’m now freaking out it’s Sunday night with an emergency call to the vet for the morning. She’s not been eating all day today and very uncomfortable
How is your dog doing
Thanks sir I also uesd epsum.salt at the moment ok then continued Also she has three kattis at neck foot and backside how it cured without operation pl help me sir
Could you please contact me as i went to the vet and i had antibiotics went away came right back as soon as i stopped the antibiotics :( and now its bigger what to do now i will try this thats for sure
I've been treating my dog for 4 days now, cleaning, neosporin. She's been limping and licking her paw continually. Forget the dog booties, she won't have it, and barely lets me touch her feet even when not in pain. My question is, her front leg, large pad looks like a yellowish crusty callous...doesn't smell like anything. Will continue to work on this, this week, and if no improvement, off to the vet.
How did it go? Did it heal without needing vet?
I, too, am curious! Could you provide your results in this reply thread, please?
I too got a chocolate lab with same paw infection wat a coincidence..
Link for dog boot?
My dog (rott) got parvo and recovered, but his paw gets bruces cause it's very soft. Now he is 2 years. Spend a lot of money taking him to vet and giving medicine etc. Is there any solution? (Vet suggested to put him down when he got parvo, cause normally dogs won't recover, but we couldn't.) Any advice is appreciated!
I had 4 dogs that had it they doing ok Let him wear shoes buy him some
My dog had parvo and recovered just fine with meds.
Never trust a vet
Nice
Way to go! Great video… I’m having an issue with my Labradoodles, my main problem is she gets very angry at me! So angry that in fact I’ve need your advice on what to do actually, when I try to inspect her foot she makes the angriest voice I’ve ever heard her use!! I am going to get a bucket with Epsom salt and rinse her foot out with water then I will do as you said in the video. That’s great advice thank you 🙏
Thanks sir I also uses epsum.salt at the moment of then will continued she also three kattis at neck foot and backside how it cured without operation
It worked!!
Did the Epsom salt worked for your dog?
Thankyouuuu so much huhuhuuuu
It's a cone of protection!!
I very happy I find this video. My dog was licking his paws so I performed the treatment as you suggested and fitted a collar. My dog now play with his balls while his foot get better . 👍
I have a brindle and white pitbull whos paws i think are infected and i want to help her help me😭😭
Actually my dog paw is bleeding sometimes , treating daily with a hot water therapy, still bleeding, can we use this hydrogen peroxide on dogs
I'm no expert tbh. But I believe sea salt and warm water would work better. Then put antibiotic ointment on it.
Thanks for your kind reply , actually it was pyoderma so we took ABST to choose right antibiotic and with antibiotic therapy my dog is fully recovered now thanks all
@Candii Cubana i suggest all of you , better consult vet and take ABST and give him suitable antibiotics with immunomodulator syrup for better recovery and long lasting protection.
I don't know if my dog has an infection. Can't see anything or feel anything or smell anything. She just isn't walking on 1 paw, and I'm worried.
did you find out what the cause was ?
My dog is going through the exact same thing right now, what was wrong with your dog?
@@jennafluegeman2927 Did you find out why your dog was doing that?
My dog has a bad sore on her paw between the toes. She's had this before on her front paw. The research says it's interdigital furuncle. I've cleaned it thoroughly - it was bath day too - put 'drawing salve' on it to pull out any poisons, etc. overnight. then, I'll put antibiotic cream on it and do this several times a day for several days. I also give her a crushed vicodin for pain and/or baby benadryl. The research says she should see a vet but that would be hundreds of dollars I just don't have in this pandemic economy. I feel horribly guilty.
How's your dog? I've got the same problem :(
Maybe sell some items in your house to pay for your dog . And yes feel guilty as you are neglecting your dog .
@@Fate5389 How is your abusive language helpful?
Shame on you below. Neglect ? For all you know tht dogs more loved and cared for then 75% of the dogs others own. MONEY DOES NOT DEFINE OR DICTATE how good one is as a parent be it to a human or Dog ( animal ) PERIOD!! and the lack of it does not make anyone a bad or even neglectful parent whatsoever
This is the HARSHEST COMMENT I've read on a post in a good long while. It's cruel degrading and disgusting
@@Fate5389 Dumb kid in your 20s?
Where did you get those boots?!
Looking for the same information about that particular boot.
Today I just caught my dog chewing his leg and it’s bleeding a fair amount. He’s been licking/chewing his leg for awhile, but not this bad. It looks slightly infected but he seems to be acting fine. Anyone have any suggestions?
What helped your dog
So my dog has a broken leg and has it in a cast.Last week I started to notice that his paw was swelling.Now it smells really bad and he keeps on licking it.I also noticed some blood stains on the cast.Is it infected?
How is your dog? What was the outcome?
Any kind of swelling and putrid smell that's not caused from stepping in something gross, is an infection and should be taken seriously. I hope you took him to the vet. Especially since his leg was in a cast, there could've been something internally wrong we couldn't see with the naked eye.
My dog's paw pad is reddish in the between n one of his toe is swollen can i get any help from u?
Same what worked for u
I've done everything u have said to do except my dog I'ds an angel he let's me.put a sock on his paw disent touch it the only thing I haven't done or been able to find with out paying an arm and a leg is some sort of cream. I'm sure this is going be another vet trip. Oh well ❤he's my everything and some. If u have any ideas for the timebeing please feel free to let me know as I'll have to safe half my pension for 2 weeks so I can afford consultation fee and of course antibiotics.
Pray for us Shonnah and BOSSY BOOTS
what % of paroxid
Hi ..my dog paw is red n inflamed n he is lacking n limping little wht should I do ..plz guide.
Take it to the vets 🤯 . Wow you people on here are piss poor owners . What would you do if your children had problems . I'm hoping you say the hospital but I'm sure your ask people you don't know first 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 WAKE UP
My dogs paws are infected & they've been like that 4 a week or so! I dont have money to take her 2 the vet rite now I feel so bad 4 her! I put her in a bath with 3 inches of water with iodine in it this morning should I still use peroxide on it rn
Same thing happened to my dog :(, I don’t have money to take him either and so far we’ve been treating him at home. Today we put a bit of peroxide on it
Nooo be aware don’t let her paws get wet it will only worsen the infection. I went to the vet and he told be to get standardized antiseptic solution and fucidin cream (antibiotic cream) they are both cheap. Sanitize the paws with the antiseptic solution first then wait 2 minutes and put the antibiotic cream and again wait for about 10 minutes until the paws are relatively dry. Stop your dog licking their paws because it’ll worsen the infection. Don’t let the dog paws get wet and don’t give the dog a bath. Do this twice a day for a week or 10 days.
turns out my dog had a foxtail plant in his paw !
Tiffany, if this happens in future, remove fur from the infected area, wash with water and salt bath it every other day. If the wound smells bad at any point, you must take her to a vet right away. Bad smells are a sign of serious infection. Peroxide isn't the worst thing in the world for dogs, but it kills off fibroblasts (a dogs natural healing tool), so should never really be used on open wounds. Remember to dry off the wound gently after each salt bath and try to stop her licking it.
@Briana Cumbicos I didn’t put gauze because it might absorb the antibiotic cream. After putting the cream on, hold your dog in ur arms or lap until the paw has absorbed the cream then u can just let them walk around the house, not outside. Don’t let your dog outside if he has an infection. And don’t let them lick their paw
problem with ointment like Neosporin is the dog will lick it off.
My blue healer keeps getting what the Vet calls yeast.. He licks and chews his paws all day until it's swollen and saturated & then constantly scratching everywhere else & Spreading everywhere.... It's annoying bringing him to the vet and have them. Do the Labs to see what it is & they keep referring different antibiotics or steroids.... The meds work but as soon as he gets better and weaned off - it comes back in full force !!!!! He did not have this problem when I first found him in the middle of the Arizona desert until I brought him back to Minnesota 2 years later.... The vets are becoming morons. They just want your money like hospitals and do enough to keep you coming back.... . . . . .
What helped your dog. My doh going through the same thing and antibiotics don't seem to work
My dog would put me in the hospital before he would let me touch his feet
How do I clean an infected wound on my dog’s belly? It is small and has a foul smell.
Peroxide . First get it into a syringe and flush the wound channel . Let the peroxide foam and flush for a few minute and repeat until the foam is free of bloody puss and fairly clear . Then pack the wound with preto carbolic salve and keep a good eye on it a few times per day . Clean out the wound every night and reapply the Petro carbolic until you see healing take over within a few days . depending on the infection you may have to use a tool or your finger to debride the wound cavity but the peroxide will do most of the work for you . Keep it clean and the magic of petro carbolic salves (watkins) will heal your dogs wounds faster than anything you can imagine .
jesusoftheapes i did that! It’s healing now considering I bought her antibiotics
@@miehai444 Good news .
My dog is limping. I noticed a couple of weeks back he stepped on a rusty small nail . Could he have tetanus. What should I do ?
This a no brained take your dog to the Vet he needs a tetanus shot! Wound needs to be cleaned SBPD checked for infection. Rusty nail could spread infection through entire dogs system nothing to wait on or get u tube advice, Go to the Vet !
Vet ASAP!
Clearly you shouldn't be a dog owner if you ask stupid questions like this. It's a no brainer take her to the vet asap
@@cpfchocolate_paradise_fami3249 chill man not all people know that
I've used antibiotic ointment, but it looks the same as before. Red, swollen, nail looks out of place, she's limping and licking it all the time. I will be taking my dog to the vet later today. R.I.P my wallet.
How was your doggo
Trying to take it out but my dog keeps trying to bite me? Any help?
Any advice
can this heal on their own???
No
why did you not show the infection ?
Her dog isnt infected. Just using him as an example, to show how to wrap and treat.
That would be good if he would let me touch his paws but he won't. I took him to a groomer to get his nails tried but he bite her so that's out
Not all dog behave like your dog maam.
Good video eh ,my dog had bad toes ended up they needed taken away as soon as was possible , paid £3000 actually would have paid £30000 for him if needed . When job was all done we celebrate a good job , took him for a little walk he was groogy but walked the best , two days later the garbage truck ran over him , thinking now if he had died with anesthetic would it be easier for me ,jesus , the memories , need fixed asap .the head and the heart , my buster has put me of owning another . Anyway keep up the good work
Aaaw my name is Sadie
Not recommended by vets! My dog has an infected paw and hydrogen peroxide is not good
YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO USE HYDROGEN PEROXIDE ON YOUR DOG!!!
Why?

Pretty sure my sisters dog died from treating it’s cut with peroxide.
How did that cause her dog’s death?
Some comments on here are very low people . What should I do 🙉 SERIOUSLY.
None on here are professionals and might make your dog worse . Take it to the vets . Money before health I see here . NEGLECT!!!!!!!
I just watched two videos by two reputable Vets and they say both of them not to put any creams on the paw . Are you a Vet MD? I thought you were definitely a bit rough when handling your dogs paw ! Not impressed and then the cone ! No take your dog to the Vet folks don’t mess around with a paw infe pction or this video
Shut up lady. She wasn't rough at all. And vets prescribe creams all the time. You are just a nay saying wakadoo
Hydrogen peroxide???? You might as well piss on it
