That mass on Ryder's foot looks like a mass than an allergy but it is difficult to tell from a picture. You can try soaking it in an epsom salt bath but it really looks like it needs to be examined by a veterinarian. It could be something benign like a cyst or histiocytoma but it could also be a malignant mass such as a mast cell tumor. Having it examined by a veterinarian will give you a diagnosis and proper treatment so that he can get better.
