Help. Ollie has been getting this on his toes for a week now. We thought the first was a bug bite. But this morning he has this.

Looks like a yeast infection. Radar had one and I used the apple cider vinegar/ water bath mentioned in this forum on it and it was gone in two days.

It's an interdigital cysts, usually brought on by allergies to either environment or food. You can soak the foot in warm water with Epsom’s salts for around 10 mins several times a day, followed by another soak in diluted hydrogen peroxide. That should take care of the problem. If it's environment, then wipe the feet down, especially between the toes and dry, every time you bring him inside. If they keep popping up, try a food change. We had an English that used to get them, and we changed her food, and they stopped.

Thank you David! I will try soaking tomorrow.

:up: exactly
 
His toes are doing better today. Still swollen but better. I'm giving antiobotics and antihistamine and keeping the foot clean. I'm also applying tritop ointment that the vet gave us. Here's hoping this heals quickly. Thanks everyone!
