terriers feet

just had one of my dogs at the vet she has a lump between her toes on her front paw at first i thought it was caused by a thorn or some other foreign body so i squeezed it yes out came the puss i bathed it with antiseptic and gave her a penicillan injection but after 2 days it was still the same so off to the vets in for less than 10 minutes to be told it was a inter digital cyst to which he gave me 10 days worth of antibiotic and a bill for £30.02 £21 cosultation charge and £9.02 for the drugs im in the wrong job me thinks the dog must have known what the bill was going to be like cause she chewed up his pen whilst on the table when we weren,t looking anyone else heard/seen this condition and what did you do to clear/help it ?

Sounds like one of them things that would of been all right if you'd of carried on seeing to it the way you were after squeezing the shit out of it. Vet's love taking money for medication that isn't needed.

 

But then I've not had the same problem so maybe I'm wrong?

might aswell use the stuff and clear up the problem now mate. have you googled the condition? might be lots about it on tinternet.

 

hope you dog is well soon.

 

All the best,

cheers guys had a look on the net and most of the info says antibiotics are required but it might not clear completely and it could reoccur try to avoid vets as much as i can but some things really need a professional to look at them

I think my mums cocker spaniel once had one, we left it a while before going the vets but in the end had to as it just wouldnt go away, so you probably did right, but at least you now know what it looks like so if you ever come across it again you'll know.
