Expert Answer

An Alaskan Malamute’s interdigital dermatitis generally improves noticeably in 7 to 10 days, with exact recovery varying by severity. Trim the hair around the sore, disinfect with diluted hydrogen peroxide, and drain any pus before applying antibacterial ointment.

Keep the wound dry, apply medicine daily, and keep the Elizabethan collar on until the dog fully recovers.
