interdigital cyst
Submitted by Kim Sebastian O... on June 9, 2011 - 7:45pmyep, Oliver has his first one! I'd noticed he'd been limping on his front leg the last few days, but couldn't find anything, so just figured it was from him and Sebastian wrestling around with each other. Finally, this morning when I was letting him out, I noticed in between two of his toes it looked a little red, so I spread them apart and there it was! Called my vet and went and picked up some mal-a-ket wipes and some neo-predef powder. Poor baby!!

Bummer...
Winston get's them on a fairly regular basis, poor guy. I've found that after cleaning and medicating some doggie ice cream or a piece of salami usually helps him to forgive and forget the cleaning session (and lessens the sulking).
Good luck! Sounds like your on the right track as far as treating it...

interdigital cysts
My older bulldog Bluto (10.5) has had interdigital cysts since he was 3. always the same right front paw, while i've tried the wipes and drops one thing that has worked really well for him is that as soon as i notice one starting (early detection is key) i soak his paw 4-5x per day in warm epsom salts for as long as he will tolerate which is usually about 5 minutes or so. This reduces the length and severity of his cysts from a week or 2, to only a day or 2. Good Luck!
Preparation H always works for us...
apply it three times a day, they will dry up in a couple of days.
