We have a 2yr old and he has a red swollen paw. He licks it raw. He's been seen once (6-8-09) and was given Simplicef and prednisone, swab came back positive for bacteria. He stopped the behavior but don't know if the paw got better. Now it's back day 3. Read that food allergies can cause this so we are starting to rotate foods. He also has had benedryll for the itching. His upper lip area seems swollen too.
We are not sure what do next. It getting costly to keep going back to vet but we will if it doesn't go away.
Any suggestions???? Thanks
