treatment
Interdigital furuncles respond best to a combination of topical and systemic therapy. Cephalexin (20 mg/kg, PO, tid, or 30 mg/kg, PO, bid)
is recommended for 4-6 wk of initial therapy. However, because the
lesions are pyogranulomatous, it may be difficult for antibiotics to
penetrate them; therefore, >8 wk of systemic antibiotic therapy may
be required for lesions to completely resolve. These lesions are often
complicated by concurrent Malassezia
spp
infections. Oral ketoconazole or itraconazole (5-10 mg/kg) for 30 days may be indicated. The presence of
Malassezia
can be documented by cytologic examination of nail bed debris and/or
impression smears of the skin. Topical foot soaks in warm water with or
without an antibiotic solution (eg, chlorhexidine) and the application
of mupiricin ointment are recommended. Some dogs may benefit from
antibiotic wraps and bandaging. Antihistamines given for the first
several weeks of treatment may partially alleviate pruritus, if
present. Glucocorticoids are contraindicated.
