I have just noticed in the last week or so that 2 Dope's paw pads seem to be peeling. They look pretty normal otherwise. No discoloration or anything that resembles an infection. He is an indoor cat.
He is fairly new to the house, maybe 1 1/2 months. I have two other cats who have never had this happen to them. When I pull on the "skin" that is peeling, he does not seem to mind. He does not show any signs of pain, and there are no open wounds or sores. It is happening on all of the large pads, and each individual "toe" pad. It reminds me of when a snake or lizard "sheds". The skin that is peeling off is dry, but not cracked.
Anyone have anything similar to this happen? I'll probably call the vet in the morning. Just wondering if anyone here has had any experience with this.
Thanks.
