Just plain old Vaseline might be absorbed better and last longer than lotion, and there's nothing in it to sting.
Never thought of Vaseline.. Its prob. safer incase the dogs eat it.

One of the callus' looks better already. it stopped bleeding & looks softer... The other is a nasty mess. I pushed simi hard on it last night & nearly puked... Its NOT puss anymore, its fluid & blood now.. which tells me its no longer infected, or the infection is going away... Shes still allowing me to poke it & touch it... But she gets snippy when Mr. Biggles licks it... I gently punish Mr. Biggles everytime I catch him licking it... I flick his ear & say NO... If I just say no, he ignores me, as I don't think he knows that command at all.

Luckly we have HUGE white table cloths, that we've been wrapping the dog couch in, so it can be bleached clean... There is less & less blood everyday, so thats positive... I'm sure they are only as big as they are cause they were infected from the dirty cement at the shelter.

I'm still careful when touching her, cause we both don't know eachother yet.. but so far she wont lift her head when I poke/clean them... Mr. Biggles on the other hand will snap if you accidently hurt him.. luckly hes a small dog, so it wont hurt much, but we're still gonna correct it as snapping isn't accepted in our home
