No, I'm sorry but I don't have any idea what it could be.

Does your Vet have any ideas or suggestions for you?
If they are bothersome for your dog, maybe the Vet should
have a closer look at them. Good Luck with this.What's
your dog's name?

It may interdigital cysts. It looks like a red swelling that pops up between the dogs toes.

Try soaking the paw in warm water and Epsom Salts, and then dry well. If you have it rub in some Panalog ointment or hemorhoid cream. That may help if it is a cyst.

I am not certain how prone to these cysts Sharpeis are. You might want to check with the vet too.
