To be honest, I don't think there's a consensus on whether neat aloe vera leaf could be applied for paw issues. I've done it and didn't see that it did Penny any harm, but neither was I convinced it did much good. Sorry to be so equivocal about it. <br />We've just had a bout of tremendous licking over the last couple of months and in desperation abandoned our non-medication programme, and washed her feet every day for a week with what I consider a potentially bad product - Malaseb shampoo. We were careful to wash it off thoroughly after ten minutes and kept our eye on her for the entire time to make sure she didn't lick while it was on her skin. We only washed the two infected feet. It did work. But I'm sure the whole thing will start up again at some stage, and we'll try to use the natural products first.parlancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11175843064324380048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179993983134824252.post-61419997488463488932018-05-22T19:38:15.378+10:002018-05-22T19:38:15.378+10:00Hi Parlance,

Just so that I’m clear on the consensus, the aloe gel from a fresh leaf is fine to use for paw skin issues? Or does this need to be diluted? And if so what quantities?<br />Apreciate any guidance you can provide!

Penny often has pink paws. if I remember correctly, the vet told me that's the result of the saliva interacting with her fur. It bothers me to see it, but after twelve years we've learned we just have to live with it for part of the year. She doesn't seem distressed, but she sure does lick too much.parlancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11175843064324380048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179993983134824252.post-78236280947363444122017-08-29T22:24:13.078+10:002017-08-29T22:24:13.078+10:00Thank you for the research.

I've tried tea tree oil with peroxide, mousse I got from the vet ofc, Iodine mixed w/ warm water with no results. I've been rubbing aloe gel on his paws for the past few days and it seems like he is getting relief....ALSO he doesn't run when he sees me with the leaf in my hand like he does when he sees me coming at him with the spray bottle. I think it soothes his paws!!

Mum uses the gel for everything, especially burns. An aloe Vera farmer in Bundaberg gave her a plant many years ago when she was living right on the beach at Bargara. He said anyone living that close to the beach needed it. Reckon'd if you got sunburnt it would take the sting out immediately and you'd be right by morning. It worked. It's great for any sort of burn. Takes the sting out straight away. Good for skin rashes too. Mum used it on her wire haired foxie who had terrible allergies. It was the only thing that helped her.
