My 6 year old boxer/bulldog mix rescue has been diagnosed by our vet with deep pyoderma along with furunculosis and folliculitis. He has been prescribed Zeniquin, Doxycycline and on a tapered dose of Prednisone. Everything seems to be healing with the exception of his paws and interdigital furunculosis. It seems to clear up when given a double dose of the prednisone (vet advised use only when paws seem to be extra sensitive). What would you recommend?

If double the prednisone helps when Roscoe's paws are really bad, I would follow the vet's recommendation. His vet would know what is best for him because they can see him in person. Sorry this is happening to him, it must be so tough on him and you!
