Bleeding Foot Returns

The day after my last post, the bleeding foot returned.  It only bled a little on one day and then it healed back up.  I'm glad that's all it was but I'm concerned that there might be another cyst growing in there.  Other than that, things are good.

Leg and Feet Licking

Ziggy's ears are doing better.  I've made a habit of cleaning his ears every morning with soap and water which helps keep them mostly clear.  There's always still some dry flaky residue but a good cleaning every morning helps prevent it from escalating. 

The foot is doing ok (no swelling or bleeding) but he does still tend to lick at his legs and feet a lot although I don't see him biting at it so much lately - just licking.  I never see any major skin issues that would cause him to lick but I find his fur to be wet when I touch him.  Yesterday I gave him a bath with peroxide shampoo to clean his feet and legs. 

Overall he seems to be doing well at this time.
