What is this weird growth on my puppy's paw after antibiotics?

Question

My puppy 10 months has had a sore paw for 6 weeks. She injured it in the snow. she had anti biotics shot and the swelling came down and it started to go away. 2 weeks later the swelling is back and she is on anti biotics again this time tablets twice daily for 3 weeks and having regular epsom sat foot baths. The swelling as come down but noticed this odd (fungle looking) sore on the paw! Has anyone seen this before? There was discharge from the sore but it’s stopped and now this. Pet's info: Dog | Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier | Female | spayed | 10 months and 12 days old | 25 lbs

This looks like it could be a viral papilloma, or it could be something like granulation tissue (which is a part of the healing process). Since there has been a change in the appearance of the sore I would recommend rechecking with your vet to see what they would recommend as the next step. They might want to biopsy this area or they might recommend continuing the current treatments for a bit longer if this seems like granulation tissue in person.
