Dog has swollen growth between toes. Can Epsom salt or witch hazel help?

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Thanks for the pictures! The thing on his foot looks like a mass that is bleeding. The most common growths that look like this are sebaceous adenomas or skin tags. You can soak the food in Epsom salts and apply a triple antibiotic ointment but the mass likely needs to be removed. I wish you the best!

It is hard to tell exactly how big the mass is. It looks like a possible abscess (infection) of cyst. I would recommend taking Bella to a vet for a fine needle aspirate. This is where the vet looks at cells from the mass under the microscope to determine what it is. IF it is an abscess the vet might start antibiotics but if it is a cyst or growth it might need to be surgically removed. It most like will not hurt to soak the food in epson salt baths but it is unlikely to resolve the issue. Also, I would recommend an e-collar(cone) around the head to prevent licking and chewing. IF bella does lick it can make the growth larger or start a bacterial infection

Yes usually there is an entry wound with something stuck in the paw. The picture looks like she has an infection between the toes. This is infected interdigital cysts. It can affect one paw or all four. Often they have some drainage and swelling. I recommend taking Willow to the veterinarian for an exam. They will look for a foreign body in the paw and if it's a paw infection they will prescribe antibiotics. You can soak the paw in warm epsoms salt solution for five to ten minutes. This will draw out the infection and increase the blood supply to speed healing. If Willow is licking this excessively please use a restraint collar so she can't lick the paw. These generally heal quickly with treatment. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Willow.

That looks pretty serious. It looks suspicious for a malignant tumor (cancer). I suggest you take Winston to your vet for an exam as soon as possible. In the meantime you can soak the foot in warm Epsom salt water to help draw out some of the toxins. Just 5 minutes a couple times a day. If he is licking it you need to get him a cone collar to stop that until you can get him examined. https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=elizabethan+collar+for+dogs&crid=T2XCGQ7L2PZI&sprefix=elizabethan+coll%2Caps%2C251&ref=nb_sb_ss_i_3_16

This is an interdigital infected cyst. You can soak it in warm water with epsoms salt to help get the area to drain. Generally I treat these with antibiotics and prevent licking by using a restraint collar. With treatment this should heal in a week or two.

Hi there and thanks for posting on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Glad to hear Bailey is not licking her paws any longer and does not appear in pain. However, from the pictures your sent, the area around the nail does look a bit swollen and red. You can try the colloidal silver cream to see if it helps in addition to soaking the feet in an Epsom salt water bath 2-3 times a day for 5-10 mins. If this doesn't help or if her paws get worse, she may need antibiotics from her veterinarian. I hope this helps!

Yes, I would get a cone. Be sure that the cone extends past the end of his nose or he will still be able to lick. This could be a serious problem. Bumps between the toes can be anything from a cyst, to a tumor to an abscess. You can keep soaking it with Epsom salts. You can apply the aloe but it's not likely to help; Neosporin would be better. I suggest you don't wrap it. If you bandage it too tight or incorrectly then you can cause more damage. If after 4-5 days he is not better you need to get him to the vet for an exam.
