Hello, my 14 week old kitten has brown crusting on the paws? Is this something to worry about? She seems fine in herself. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 2 months and 14 days old | 1.5 lbs

Hi and thanks for posting on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Brown crusting on the paws could be foreign material on the paws such as dirt or feces. It could also be a yeast or fungal infection. I would take Toffee to her veterinarian to have the paws looked and the brown cursing tested to rule out a bacterial or fungal infection. Both are very treatable and not too much to worry about. Hope this helps!
