My lab's about the same age and began having problems with his pads a month or so ago. First thought stepped on something (let out a squeal and began hobbling, but couldn't find anything). Then his pads began losing their black, and chapping and getting sore. So the vet gave him anti-biotics and something to put on his pads. Gotten worse, so Friday the vet did a biopsy on two pads and a sore that's developed on his back. Results will be in next Friday. Vet is guessing might be a thyroid problem, treatable by pills, but doesn't know yet. He's gaining weight, but isn't getting exercise because the sore pads, but he tries. Will run like crazy in the snow because it's soft, but on dry dirt limps like a cripple, sore pads. Cant think of or see anything he's gotten into, except likes to hangout under the tractors, and gets greasy, so have to clean. Have a collie too, no problems with her though, but then again, she's to much of a priss to do anything. Not my boy - he goes everywhere with me, woods, fields, truck. Had some diesel fuel leak from one of the tractors, maybe that's what happened? I don't know. I even tried changing his dog food from Proplan to plain old Purina just to see if was too much protien from Proplan. No difference.

That's my boy, and does fine except the pads all of a sudden. What are the symptoms of diabites? My boy eats and is active when on something soft. Them pads are hurtin' him badly.
