My dog is walking funny with a hard spot on her paw pad. What is it?

Question

Brought our dog out for a run 2 days ago and now she's walking funny, found a hard piece on one of her paw pads. It's like it's part of her pad but it differs in shape from her opposite paws pad. She let's me touch it and press it with no problem

Dr. Davis · Accepted Answer

Dogs can get corns on their pads. This is common in greyhounds but can happen in any breed. They can cause discomfort when walking or running but not painful when touched. These can be cut back by your veterinarian so they don’t touch the ground. I recommend a veterinary exam to get a diagnosis and treatment plan.
