Dog owners will understand

Hi just wondering if anyone’s dog has had cyst on top off paw. I’ve been to vets got cream and to bathe in salt water. Keeps healing then coming back, just wondering if anything else I can do. She went for us tonight, so must be very painful. Will phone vets in morning but think next step might be an op, would like to avoid this

is going for you out of character for your doggo? If so its sore
 
Bramble is going back to vets Monday, cyst keeps healing then flaring up again. She’s getting a swab done Monday see why antibiotics not clearing it up, to continue bathing and to give her paracetamol twice a day. She’s feeling very sorry for herself today, so plenty treats and cuddles

Jeez, I'm so sorry, mind you, I would have spelt it "wee".

My wife is from Lancashire and I don't understand her most of the time.
My mother was Welsh and I never understood her.
My father was a Cockney, didn't understand him much either
Two of my Grandchildren have been brought up in Liverpool and don't have a clue what they are saying.

The two dogs I can understand,

One bark = let us out
Two barks = feed us
Three barks = there's a squirrel in the garden

Aint life fun

Must just be us Scottish ones that spell it that way. My dog doesn’t bark just stares at us and begs

Yeah, did ask about an op to remove it, but said only do in extreme cases. Was thinking off a wii boot for outside

Is it red/swollen? Is Bramble worrying at it much? Can you see anything sticking out of the red area?

I know they said it wasn’t a grass seed, but there are so many around at the moment. Marv had a poorly a fore-paw last year that I was bathing daily in dilute Hibiscrub.

In the end I could see a little brown stub, and with a squeezy-cheese distraction I was able to whip it out with a pair of tweezers. And sure enough it was “one of those” grass seeds. Dratted things!

Yes red and swollen and she’s at it quite a bit. Vet has said to bathe in salty water and put cream on they gave me, we also put a baby sock on at night. I’ve had a look and can’t see anything in it, plus vet has examined it. To give her paracetamol twice a day, she’s not wanting it, but put it in a bit off cheese and it’s gone
