Dry cracked feet

[Worldofnight]

Is it normal for my chins feet to look dry and cracked and if not how can I help this problem .

I'd try some Bag Balm first. If that doesn't help, get some Silver Sulfadiazine Cream from your vet. Their feet shouldn't be too soft either, so just be careful not to overdo it. You should ease off on the dust baths as well. I only offer dust twice a week in the winter at most, but Buddha still had issues at the beginning of January. His feet went from dry to red in a matter of days. It took me 10 days and a few extra pairs of hands to get him back to normal, but he's fine now. It's good that you noticed! )

Got the balm from cvs ,rubbed it on her feet so hopefully she gets better soon. Thanks for the help

No problem! I'm sure she'll be fine. As far as chin problems go, dry feet is one of the easier ones to handle.

I think this happens more often when you have 'forced air heat'. Those of us who have water baseboard heat don't often have this problem. I haven't had it yet, thankfully

Yea we have forced air and all hardwood flooring so it tends to be super dry in my home. The balm really helped though ,the cracks in her feet healed almost over night and the dryness is almost all gone too .

Happy to hear she's doing better!
