The toes of a good Shiba Inu must be round and raised, showing a semi-circular state, and have appropriate thickness. The toes should not be separated from each other and should be held tightly, just like a cat's toes. A good Shiba Inu's toes should not only be black in color, but also hard in texture.
Those with poorly separated toes not only look unsightly when walking, but also lack durability. Strength, so many parents will be particularly anxious when they find that their little Shiba Inu has split toes. So what should they do?
First of all, determine why Shiba Inu's toes are bifurcated. It is caused by foot disease. It is still said that it is caused by the Shiba Inu's nails being too long, which affects the walking posture. If it is caused by foot diseases, such as paronychia and toe inflammation, then the owner needs to do a good job of disinfection in time. You can use concentrated salt water or antibacterial agents. The medicine is used to clean the injured area and drain out all the thick juice inside in a timely manner. If necessary, the affected area should be incised, drained, and antibacterial drugs applied on it. If the inflammation is severe and the area is large, it is best to send it to the hospital for treatment in time to avoid delaying the condition. If it is caused by excessively long nails, the owner should cut the nails of the Shiba Inu frequently to slowly diagnose the Shiba Inu’s walking posture.
