Well Gunnys interdigital cysts (deep pyoderma) are back after a month of treatment with clindimycin they are so painful to him it just breaks my heart. Last month when we were at the vets he said the last thing we can try is atopica he said they had good results with it but it will cost 300.00 a month for awhile and cut it back after awhile I gotta do it cuz I can"t let him suffer and he"s worth it. He goes to the doctor Thursday.

Have you tried the epsom salt treatment? Soak his feet in epsom salt and water solution for 10 mins a day I think. It worked really well when Stig developed cysts from the salt during the winter months.

poor guy :(

I didn't know what that was so I googled it. I found a blog by some country vet who explained it pretty well. I'm sorry he is hurting.

Gunny has been dealing with these for 3 years, yes I have tried the soaks, every antibotic known to man and dog some will work while he is taking them but come right back when he stops taking them. we have tried panalog, sprays, salves, and everything else my last option is atopica which will cost 300.00 we have no choice I just cant stand to see him suffer with these damm things, I hope that other bullies dont have to go thru this. Gunny looks up at me with those beautiful eyes and it seems like he is saying Help me, and I cant. pray that this atopica works!!

Change his food. Get an allergy test. Sarah had them and they got bad with some foods n better on others. Sarah was on anti biotics also which did nothing. Until you find out whats causing the allergy they will not go away. I would change the food without waiting on the test results with such a severe case. Let us know how it goes.

Yes I know they scraped sarahs to. Unless you find out what he is allergic to they will not go away. Sarah had them for 2 years. I just had her allergy tested n found out why some foods made them worse n some better depending on how many things were in it she's allergic to. She no longer has them now I have her on a food with no allergens. Get the allergy test its worth it. You won't believe how fast they go away with the right food. Sarah had cysts on top of cysts. She had them on all four paws. Just sayin.
