What are the symptoms of interdigital dermatitis in dogs?

Common symptoms of interdigital dermatitis in dogs include red, itchy, swollen skin between the toes, hair loss, and pustules. Because of itch or discomfort, the dog also licks or bites the area frequently. In severe cases, the dog may limp or refuse to put weight on the foot.

Treating it mainly means keeping the foot dry, trimming the fur between the toes appropriately, and using iodine, hydrogen peroxide, or erythromycin ointment. Severe cases may need professional medical intervention.
