Dog paw peeling from pavement, limping. Can I use Neosporin?

Question

Hello, my dog was running around a lot on pavement for over an hour and when she came back we noticed she was licking and pulling on her front paw. Then we saw it's peeling. It has like a flap of skin and she's limping I'm guessing she's in a lot of pain. What can we do? Should we put Neosporin and wrap it ? Thank you.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I'm sorry about Chaparra's paws! It is a common injury in the summer. Soaking the feet in Epsom salts twice daily and bandaging with neosporin should work. If you can't keep bandages on then just keep him on soft surfaces, like the grass. If he is painful then take him to your Vet monday for pain medications. I hope this helps!
