My dog has wounds between his toes that won't heal. What should I do?

Question

My dog has wounds between his toes, they would go away for a while when i spray the medicine (that the vet gives) on the wounds but it just doesn’t heal completely. What should i do, should i go to a different vet? Why do you think it happen? Please. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | unneutered | 17 lbs

Your dog may have an underlying allergy that causes him to lick and chew at the feet which in turn causes infection. I would recommend talking with your vet about an allergy medication like Cytopoint or Apoquel to help keep the allergy under control. Your dog will need this along with medication (probably antibiotics) to get the infection under control.
