Some of the more common ones include:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Allergy issues \u2013 <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Allergic skin disease is very common in pets. Food or environmental allergies are frequent diagnoses, and these lead to inflammation and irritation of the skin. The paws are a frequently affected area, resulting in redness, swelling, and hair loss due to the disease itself as well as trauma from licking and\/or chewing.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Autoimmune problems \u2013 <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A disease process in which the body attacks its own cells or tissues is an autoimmune disease. Several autoimmune diseases can affect the skin and subsequently the paws. Lupoid onychodystrophy affects the toenails while diseases like pemphigus foliaceus can cause blistering of the paw pads themselves.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Infections \u2013 <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bacteria, yeast, skin mites, and dermatophytes (ringworm) can all affect the paws either as a primary problem or secondary to another disease process.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Traumatic problems \u2013 <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cuts, scrapes, and other irritations commonly affect the paws and pads. Degenerative joint disease and osteoarthritis can also affect the paws.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Systemic diseases \u2013 <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Medical conditions affecting other parts of the body may have effects on the paws as well. Liver disease can cause paw pad issues manifested as hepatocutaneous disease. Endocrine problems such as hypothyroidism or Cushing&#8217;s syndrome can also lead to paw pad changes.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paw diseases in pets can certainly affect their overall functioning and well-being. That is why it is important to us to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.parksidevet.ca\/blog\/beneath-the-surface-the-importance-of-routine-pet-wellness-exams\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">keep a close eye<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on those precious paws and keep them healthy and comfortable.
