Inter-digital Cysts

So for a while, Tobi's had some little cysts between her toes. We've heard of that happening to bulldogs, and for the most part they seem to come and go and not bother her very much. But recently she had one that got big and didn't go away. We'd pop it every once in a while, but it would come back, it started bothering her. Here it is:

So yesterday she had her follow-up appointment with the dermatologist, so the split them open and cleaned them out. The conclusion was that they could be from allergies, (weird) and that since she was already on antibiotics, and has been for so long, she's probably immune to them. So she got more pills, and a snazzy little bandage:

She wasn't happy about the process, but she managed to get the bandage off today and that made her feel much better. 
The new pill regimen is as follows:
Ciprofloxacin: 2x daily
Ketoconozole: 2x daily
Medrol: 2x a day for 4 days, then 2x every other day for 4 days, then 1 1/2 every other day.
