What's causing my Yorkie's paw pad problem? Home remedies?

Question

My yorkie has some type of fungus in between the pads on her paws.. I am familiar with yeast infection both in the ears and paws, but this is not a yeast infection, or at least presents no symptoms similar to a yeast infection. What could this be, and what home remedies will clear it up? Thank you. Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Female | unspayed | 7 lbs

Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! I think you might have meant to attach a picture, it not that would help! Bacterial and yeast infections are common causes of pododermatitis (infections of the feet). They can even be present together. You can try soaking her feet in Epsom salts or use a medicated shampoo on her feet three times per week and leave the lather on for 10 mins before rinsing. If there is no improvement in 2 weeks she should be examined by a Vet. I wish Paris the best! https://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=27307
