Swollen, balding puppy feet?

by Christy
(United Staes)

We have mixed breed rottweiler and puggle puppies, that are a little over two weeks old. Some of the puppies feet are extremely swollen.

It's not all of their feet, and two of the puppies don't have this issue. If it is on their feet, it is most seen on their back paws.

If you could give me any information of what this might be or how to fix it, it would be greatly appreciated. (:





Hi Christy
I really wish that I could help you here, but I'm afraid this is a question for a veterinarian and I strongly suggest that you have these little ones examined by your own vet as soon as possible.

I have never encountered this problem, and the only thing that comes to mind is an allergy of some sort or perhaps infection. However, as it's several (but not all) of the pups that are affected, that doesn't necessarily 'fit'.

Only a professional evaluation can really answer this, so please get your pups seen by your vet asap. Best of luck, hope they are doing much better soon.
