Hi there and thank you for using Pet Coach to address your concern. Based on your photo, the bumps could be due to something that injured the skin such as a thorn or that she has allergies and this could be what we call pododermatitis starting. I would recommend examining the area for any evidence of thorns and if you do not feel anything sticking out of the area, I would recommend applying a spray to the foot such as malacetic conditioning spray twice daily until resolved. If there is no improvement or the area worsens, I would recommend having this examined by a veterinarian as an oral antibiotic and anti-inflammatory may be needed. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be happy to help you further!
