Sore paws

Have you guys ever seen anything like this or dealt with anything like it?
My lab/wirehair mix started having issues with this shortly after we got back from Nebraska sharptail hunting. She didn't have any problems out there but the first couple trips out here at home in Iowa I started noticing her paws and even up her legs were rubbed raw.
I kind of just want to believe it's just her getting rubbed by weeds and stuff but it's weird that it only recently started happening. I have had her to the vet and they put her on an antibiotic but I'm not so sure that they even know what it is.
Anyway just looking for help if anyone has dealt with this. The pictures are right after a hunt about 5 days ago and also I should add that she doesn't act like it bothers her at all..

Looks like a dog that just hunted five days in a row. I’ve seen that injury on mine after hunting in tall grass and weeds, but that’s significantly worse..

That was after a morning 3 hour hunt. I hunt her every other day or so but never more then a few hours,
 
Boots at the first sign of the abrasions would have helped. Hard ground and dry conditions. Always worse in labs. Mushers too
Rest and foot protection.
