What’s wrong with her foot pads?? I’ve used moisturizers like paw pad and it’s not helping. Is it a fungus? What will help? Should I cut it off? Use peroxide?

IT seems to be affecting her nails, i suspect it might be a fungal infection, you will need to take her to the vet in order to get it checked and treated, do not use peroxide, do not cut it, get it diagnosed and treated properly by your vet.
