Skin diseases of the feet and claws in dogs often look very similar and can be frustrating for a veterinarian to diagnose. Definitive diagnosis often requires skin scrapings, cultures, biopsies, and diagnostic tests. The cause could be an allergy, fungal or bacterial infection, a malignancy, or a symptom of another disease process. Once the proper diagnosis is made, if medication is needed, we can compound oral medications in dog-friendly flavored dosage forms, or topical medications that discourage licking. Ask our pharmacist if you have a problem giving medications to your pet. cliniciansbrief/column/comparative-imagery/canine-pododermatoses-challenge
