Interdigital cysts

Post by jojasp5 »

Hello everyone,
my chow has an interdigital cyst on her hind foot and I've been treating it with an antibacterial soap and a antibiotic ointment. Still no improvement seen. I was wondering if anyone has had any success with resolving these interdigital furuncles. From what I've been reading they seem to be fairly common amongst chow chows. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hello again it's me,
guess what guys? The interdigital furuncles have resolved. I was using a chlorhexidine foot soak followed up by a mupirocin ointment to the site. It took awhile but success!!! If anyone is having paw trouble give it a try, however you'll need a perscription for the antibiotic ointment.
