Yes its Hyperkeratosis of the foot pad, which is a genetic disease Irish Terrier can suffer from, although it is really quite rare and so unfortunately our vet had never heard of it and even when we went to the Vet Hospital the specalist had only seen pictures of it and never seen it in real life. Several IT people have been very very kind and gave us great advice regarding it, even as far as Germany a vet who is also a Irish Terrier person was very helpful and generous with her time via the internet by looking at photo's etc to see what stage it was at and also what treatment might help , she also took these Photo's of the disease which will show you what the pads get like. The photo doesn't show the nails well but they are very thick and Rascal's at the moment seem hollow at the bottom! :err: Which is why I think a dremmel on them might be the right way to go even if its not for the pads. :unsure: Any ideas/advice really appreciated. :flower: |
