Interdigital cysts

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • BarklessdogB

    Our dog that is 4, has recently developed a large interdigital cyst on the top of his front paw between his toes. It started with him licking his paw, then he started limping. Now this big cyst appears.

    I read a thousand different ways to get rid of them on the internet from soaking them, putting anti fungal cream on them to surgically removing them?

    Does anyone here have experience with them on basenjis?

    It definitely is painful for him.

    Did she always have them or did they start after something/some time? Do antihistamines clear the problem?

    @dres_actually - Also that looks to be about the spot that a micro chip is placed? My Franie has a lump there but it doesn't bother her.... might be something for your vet to explore.

    @mryltis Read this comment from @morgansc within this post dated May 30, 2019, 7:49 AM. It answers your question. Ideally it is best to wait until age 24 months but no early than 18 months. https://basenjiforums.com/post/177284

    My older ones have quite a number of these. I just monitor them and have the vet check them when they are there. None of them have had to be removed. If any of them were at a location where they were bothering the dog, then I would probably have them removed. Jennifer
