Cysts

[brutus77]

I noticed a cyst between one of Brutus' toes so I started wiping it down with Douxo pads. Now I just noticed he has two more. One on the same foot and another on the other foot? What causes this and how hard is it to make them go away.

We're battling them now as well.
With Blue, it's allergies. My vet said ingrown hairs can cause them too.
[MENTION=2014]JeannieCO[/MENTION] has an article here on them. She's had luck with epsom salt soaks. http://www.englishbulldognews.com/content.php?617-Interdigital-Furuncle-Interdigital-Cyst

I'm trying Vetericyn since I haven't had much luck with Douxo.
Hoping the Vetericyn helps.

One important thing is to keep him from licking them. I think that's what's been keeping Blue's from healing. He licks them way too much.

Yes, I've heard the epsom salt baths can help a lot. Rosalie, try soaking Brutus' affected paws in a tub of epsom salt mixed with water for a few minutes every day.

Both @Chumley and I used Vetricyn and it really worked.

Once in the morning and once at night it was gone in like 4 days. He didn't like me spraying his toes at all but it worked really well.

[MENTION=6717]pdolphin27[/MENTION] thank you!

 

[brutus77]

I will try that as well. He does not lick his paws so I guess that's good. Do I buy this over the counter?

[MENTION=9370]brutus77[/MENTION] Petco also sells it if you don't want to wait for it to be delivered.

Rosalie, here's the link to my post too last year. http://www.englishbulldognews.com/f...igital-cyst-Sally&highlight=interdigital+cyst Make sure to stay on top of it, meaning keep treating it until it's 100% gone, not 99%. I made the mistake of stopping the soaks and wipe downs too soon and Sally's came back with vengeance.

Epsom salt soaks work amazing! We also put neosporian on it after the soak. We fill the tub enough to get his feet covered and them put in the salt. We keep him occupied with a toy filled with peanut butter so he doesn't drink the water
