If it is as good as everyone says it is, then it might just be the solution to my problem, as it is only applied once a week or so and protects the pads from scuffing etc. Oh please keep your fingers crossed

Walking is fine once it has healed over, and so is running around in the garden, but how on earth do you predict and prevent that sudden berserkum around the room? He will just suddenly set off, as most dogs do at some point during the day, and madly hurtle around skidding on his paws. That is what has set him back again each time with this, and I am in despair!
I will look into that link, but am extremely wary because of his allergies.
a dogs paws should easily cope with rushing around on all sorts of surfaces. I think there may be an underlying problem here maybe related to the allergy causing the skin and pads to be fragile and prone to scuffing. Some kind of balm may help by making the pads more supple and resilient.

I hope things improve soon Sally...
