My dog has a red lump between his toes. Should I use salt water?

Hello, Harvey may have a little infected foreign body in his foot (like a sliver or thorn), or could be developing either a benign or cancerous mass. The best way to determine what it is would be to have Harvey checked by a vet. Your vet will likely take a small needle sample of the "blister" and look at those cells on the microscope to determine if it's anything concerning. I hope this helps!

From your picture it appears that Stamford may have an interdigital cyst. These can occur due to foreign material such as grass seeds as well as allergies or infections. Interdigital cysts can be painful and difficult to resolve - sometimes taking many rounds of antibiotics or even surgery. Epsom salt soaks can be helpful in conjunction with antibiotics and the pet should not be allowed to lick at the area. Other potential causes for the lump would be an abscess or a growth. If the lesion is not improving or becomes worse I would recommend that you have Stamford examined by your veterinarian

This bump on Chevy could be due to an insect bite, it could be an infected wound, a cyst, or it could be a foreign body. You can try soaking his foot in an Epsom salt bath to see if that helps it reduce. Soak it for five minutes at a time a couple of times a day. If that doesn't help or the bump gets bigger, I would take Chevy into the vet to have it examined.

Hi there and thank you for your question! Until you can take Honey into see her veterinarian, I'd recommend keeping it clean and dry. Mild soap and water wash if needed. You can keep an ecollar on Honey if she is licking or chewing at her paw. The ecollar will help prevent her from bothering it further. I hope this helps and good luck at the vet's tomorrow!

It looks a little red and inflamed so it could be an infection. You could soak his paw in a warm Epsom salt solution and see if that helps. Otherwise, have your vet take a look at him as he may need an antibiotic to treat the infection.

It sounds like Oreo has developed an interdigital furuncle/cyst. Sometimes they can be treated medically with steroids and antibiotics but sometimes require surgery. I would head to your vet at your earliest convenience.

Since the vet's treatment didn't work, then Harley should be re-evaluated. The bump on the elbow looks like a callus, which is completely normal. It can get bigger or even irritated, but there isn't much we can do for it other than providing a soft place to lay rather than the hard floor. The wound on the toe looks bad, it could be caused by a deep infection or possibly something stuck under the skin, like a splinter or grass awn/seed. Your vet may need to sedate Harley to open the area on the foot to check for something being stuck and to flush out that area.
