Question

Hi i did a post a few hours ago about by dog but now hes got pus comming from underneeth his paws and we taught is was just an abscess but now we check and there on all of his paws and his behind legg he does not want to use and since my other post this is happening and he just sat the whole day on his pillow and just not act like himself does this bring any clearance as to what is going on or is iT something different.

He definitely has a skin infection (pyoderma) that needs to be addressed by a vet. Oral antibiotics are going to be needed to get this to clear up. I suggest you get him to the vet for an exam as soon as possible.
