I am curious if anyone has ever heard of Metatarsal Fistulation? A puppy customer of mine wrote about it today. My customer also sent a PDF file which indicated that this was something that was exclusively in German line GSD's.
I have never heard of it before and just wondering if anyone else has?

I've seen two other cases of it, both GSD's, and I understand it's a bitch to treat. The one dog had it so badly that he developed "split foot", where the skin literally came apart from the pads up to the joint. It's a fungal related disease that is treated with prednisone and antibiotics, but using a solution of gentian violet seems to help keep the fungus in check.
I hope they have access to a good dermatologist, they're going to need one.
