    Hi There. There was a question along the same line as this a couple of days ago, so i will go over the same info that i gave the other owner. It sounds like he could have an allergy or a type of dermatitis on his feet. Has this only recently started or has he had any other patches over his body. The damp weather doesnt help with problems like this as their feet stays damp and it helps any bacteria that are already there multiply causing soreness and introducing infection. What would be best to help is to thoroughly dry the feet once he is in from a walk. Also bathing the feet twice daily with either a salt water solution or an antiseptic from the vet. Obviously if it doesnt clear up the you would need to take him to the vet, Another thing to consider is Mites, some times they can get small mites in their feet which causes irritation, often they will be seem licking or chewing at the feet, to check for these a skin scraping needs to be taken and examined. Possibly antibiotics may be needed to clear up any infection. Hope He improves soon
