My dog, Loki, has a small sore on the bottom of his paw, making it uncomfortable for him to walk for long periods. He hasn't been licking or rubbing it, but he is limping and can barely walk by the end of a short walk. He's not showing signs of pain but still wants to play. What could be causing this sore, and what can I do to help him feel more comfortable?
