My dog has a painful, red sore between her toes. What should I do?

Question

Hello. My dog has a very bad sore in between her toes. It looks incredibly painful and is red and full of puss. Can you give some insight on it possibly tell me what it is and any at home treatments. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Female | spayed | 70 lbs

It sounds like Cleo's sore has become infected if it's red and full of puss. She could have injured herself, or could have licked the area raw due to irritation. She will need to see a vet for antibiotics for the infection, there are no home remedies for that, and I would have her seen by a vet in the morning. For tonight, you can soak her paw in an Epson salt bath for five minutes.
