Yes I agree. Its natural bacteria. Yeast bacteria lives on all of us. But, when it thrives too much, an infection follows. If I could get 20 posts I would list a site that has great info about this condition called MALESSEZIA DERMATITIS. Let me try (you will have to fill in the blanks): marvistavet.com/html/body_yeast_infection_of_the_skin.html Put the H T T P // W W W in front of the link above. Im still not cool enough (gotta post 20) to post links. Pretty freakin sad if you ask me!! LOL!!
Our very healthy dog's feet smell like fresh corn chips, and we've noticed the not-unpleasant for years. She has no itching or chewing problem, so I'm inclined to agree with Geo D (welcome to SF BTW) that it's not indicative of a problem.
Corn I heard that the corn smell secreted through dogs paws is due to the main ingredient in a lot of dog foods----corn meal. Not sure thats its true though because my dog still smells like corn chips and corn meal is not the main ingredient in his food. :shrug:
Didn't you know, Frito Lay is taking over the world and dogs are merely one subsidiary of that multinational. And yeah, when our dog was alive, I often sprung her at the computer typing away on some doggy forum. Perhaps she was having internet sex with Gustav?
Diesel is like that about his ears. He HATES it if you nip him. I learned it the hard way, I'm so used to nibbling on my cats. :bawl:
I have a tea cup, his name is Hermann. He goes everywhere with me, he's b;acla annd brown, i posted a pic of him here i'll look for it for you guys. Mostly he sleeps right on my chest, you should hear him snore, i love him. His feet smell like popcorn. Hey, when he was little i made a bed for him in a drawer.
I also have a tea cup. I just call it tea cup, and I leave it in the cupboard till I want a cup of tea. You call your teacup Hermann? And you bring it everywhere? Have you told your psychiatrist about this?
