The other day I noticed a big callous on the "heel" of my 6 year old Pekin Paulie's foot. He has had callouses before that would go away, but I just noticed this one while he was stretching his leg out. It doesn't seem to bother him at all - he walks normally and he doesn't flinch or anything when I feel it.
He spends most of his time roaming in the grass or swimming in his inground baby pool. His large pen with his pool is mostly bare dirt now since years of him trampling has killed the grass. He does walk on some hard surfaces when he's roaming around - the gravel driveway, our patio and stone path, and there are two large stone steps in the pool for him to get out.
We have had a lot of rain yesterday so it's been damp.
Is the big callous bumblefoot or just a callous or something else? What can we do for it?
The last picture is of his other foot, which just has a soft bump of flesh in the same spot.
Any advice or input is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
