Swelling on paws

Hi,

Brittany Spaniel, 8.5 yr-old, generally in very good health
not counting hip dysplasia (which doesn't seem to bother
her).

She's got red, swoolen nodes on her paws. In the area of
what would be the knuckles on a human. Worst on the
hind legs, but she's got some on the front paws, too.

I've never seen anything like it.

Any/all ideas/advice/suggestions etc would be much
appreciated.

Cheers,
Puddin'

Your dog got Licking Granulomas, Puddin'.

If the dog truly has Licking Granulomas, and the
itching/licking has been drastically curtailed,
approximately how long before the paws return to
their former condition?

Thx,

Lick Granulomas react to antibiotics the best antibiotics you can use are failry expensive but work a treat (probably marbocylin) will bethe best.

I should have given more details ...

The dog has been getting prednisone for allergy
for years (in season).

There's no evidence this is anxiety-related.

She's been back on pred. for about a week, and
is much better.

There were never any lesions: just bald lumps
on her paws. I gave her antibiotic (Keflex) for 2-3
days anyway.

I think she'll be OK.

Much Thanks,
Puddin'
