Cheers,
Had no problem early on this season but last two shoots have been a bit of a nightmare. Trying paw balm this week but will have a go with the salt water.

My hound has this a few times, along minor cuts on a pad. Easiest is just put her in luke warm 2” deep bath, and just wash each paw with dove soap. Gets all the muck and crap out.
Then a couple of days in her pit curled up and off games. Extra biscuits required though.
After a two or three days things are much better, and a few days later raring to go again.

Worn pads, worn nails, split pads? Most is just abrasive and it's like rubs/blister when chopping wood/rowing etc
Looks like worn and split (It's hard work get him to sit still long enough to have a good look) and he starts mouthing when you try which is an indication that there's something not quite right. I'll give the salt water bathing a go then a trip to the vets if it continues.
Salt water 1tsp/pint is a good all round cleaning solution to remove dirt. The strength is about that of blood so it's less likely to sting.
That's great, thanks so much for the help and advice.
