Maikusumoto Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 Hi! I'm a new husky owner, and my pup is 5 months old. I noticed his paws are like a cat's tongue, its rough and when I brush my fingers on one side its really prickly. Is this normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfpup Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 No the paws should be smooth - not like satin, but with no sticky-up/out bits. Possibly he has roughened them by playing on concrete or pavements? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he plays in concrete, but is it normal that his paws are like prickly, if I brush it one way it would scratch me, his paws are like a cat's tongue. I went to the vet yesterday and had it checked, the vet says not to worry, but I still am worried I don't know if its hyperkeratosis. May I see the paws of your huskies? here is mine.

wolfpup Posted October 14, 2020 Report Share Posted October 14, 2020 I was about to suggest the same thing as Robke. If my boys get into a heavy play session their paws also go like yours - afraid neither would tolerate me touching their paws for a photo - but it looks like ordinary abraison to me. Keep him off the concrete for a bit - preferably grass to give his paws time to heal up - and try to get some paw wax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
