Chapped Feet?

[Mimichi]

I've noticed Mimi's feet seem kind of chapped? Like it looks like she has dead skin peeling off her feet. It doesn't seem to hurt and it's not red or anything, but is it something I should be concerned over and is there a product or something I can put on her feet to help any?

Bag balm found at walmart or a drug store can help and its pretty easy to find.

I use bag balm too. Here is a picture of it so you know what your looking for.

Oh great! Thank you guys. :]
Do I just get some on my hands or something and rub it on her feet or is there an easier way to apply it?

I just put it on my fingers and rub it into their feet. You could use a Qtip if you don't want it on yr hands. I wouldn't suggest a cotton ball only because the cotten might stick to the balm.

Since hers are just dry and not raw, dabbing a little bit on each foot twice a day for 4-5 days should fix it. Bag Balm is thicker than vaseline, so you don't need much. Just keep a close eye on her and be careful not to overdo it, as her feet shouldn't be soft... just moisturized. If you have her on bedding, switching to fleece liners can also help to prevent the problem from recurring.

Chins naturally have somewhat dry looking feet. It's what protects them when they run around. You don't want to use the bag balm too much, as Airyn said, as soft feet are more easily cut and injured when running around. As long as they aren't crusty, red, or cracking, I wouldn't worry about it.
