My dog's toes are red and swollen. Is it a yeast infection again?

Question

My dog just finished taking fluconazole and it doesnt even seem like it helped. She now has red swollen areas in between her toes. Is this a yeast infection? Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Female | spayed | 5 years and 1 month old | 90 lbs

This could be due to a bacterial, fungal infection or possibly the presence of a foreign body. Ideally that small red lump in between fingers should be disinfected and lanced. If persistent infection is present despite antibiotics, a bacterial swab should be taken for culture and sensitivity testing. Buster collar may be useful as well to avoid any licking (if any).
