Itchy Paws

[shells]

My dog is currently on Dermotic for an ear infection. His 2 front paws seem to have become so itchy that he may gnaw them off (ok thats a bit extreme but you get my gist). Is it safe to assume the yeast infection is also on his paws? What should I treat it with? Would a bit of Dermotic on the paw help?

Just wanted to add that there in no cut or sore on either of his paws.

When our dog had a yeast infection in his paws (he was doing lots of paw chewing and licking too), our vet told us to wash his paws with Malaseb shampoo daily for about a week or so. I left the shampoo on for about 10 minutes before washing it off. I only washed his paws as malaseb can be drying to the skin if used too often. It cleared up his infection.

Malaseb would be much better than the dermotic IMHO

I would use Malaseb too Very important to leave it for 5 mins though before rinsing off.

I would bath them using Calendula Tea. Antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, natural, effective and no need to rinse.
