Hi there. I believe it is reasonable to try salt soaks for something like this before you take Harvey in. I would try trwjceba day for 15 minutes at a time and drying well afterwards. Do not allow him to lick the foot. If the blister continues or grows in size afterwards-its time for a trip to his doctor.
