      <div>
        <div class="userEdit" style="font-family: arial, helvetica,
          sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: #000000;">
          <div><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
              font-size: 10pt; color: #000000; background-color:
              #ffffff;"> Over the year, I've had several Bassets who got
              irritated paws during the hot, damp summer.  After
              experimenting with every powder, medication and suggestion
              possible, I came to the conclusion that there are only two
              things that worked for me. <br>
            </span></div>
          <div><br>
          </div>
          <div><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
              font-size: 10pt; color: #000000; background-color:
              #ffffff;">My favorite was to use 1/2 cup cider vinegar or
              white vinegar to 1 cup of water.  Wipe the paws several
              times a day, especially after being outside, let the
              vinegar water sit for a few minutes and then dry
              thoroughly with an old clean towel.  Do not rinse off what
              little might be left on the paws as the smell will help
              keep your hound from licking the paws. <br>
            </span></div>
          <div><br>
          </div>
          <div><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
              font-size: 10pt; color: #000000; background-color:
              #ffffff;">The other treatment I found effective was to put
              1 tablespoon of liquid bleach (Clorox) into a cup of water
              and do the same to the paws except after the solution sits
              on the paws, take a wet rag and wipe off the solution.  I
              always rinsed the paws a few times before drying.  The
              only thing I don't like about this is that if you have
              carpet or flooring that can be affected by the bleach, you
              need to be sure that the paws are free from any solution
              so you don't discolor your floor.   <br>
            </span></div>
          <div><br>
          </div>
          <div><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
              font-size: 10pt; color: #000000; background-color:
              #ffffff;">The main thing is to keep the paws clean and
              dry.  Whatever you try, just remember that your Basset
              will probably try to lick it so make sure that it's
              something that won't be harmful. <br>
