I have a 2 year old Shephard mix with bad food allergys. He has been doing good on a fish diet till he got into the ferret food. Now he has this big blister looking thing on his back leg (pics below) that is getting bigger. I dont know if it has to do with the allergys or if he hurt himself outside in the snow like on some ice or something. He was at the vet and vet said it is a sore from his allergys acting up but his allergys are getting better but this thing is getting worse and i never seen anything like this before when his allergys are bad. Its on the back leg and looks like those little pads on the back of their front legs but its bloody and when he cuts it open it really bleeds. Im gonna be taking him back to the vet since the cream he gave me isnt working but was wondering if I should take him to a differnt one and see what they think and have anyone ever seen anything like this?

Here is where it is on his leg (pic taken last week)

Sorry about the pictures not working so here they are again but the newest ones i have where the thing is bigger. He goes to a differnt vet tomorrow for a 2nd opinion after his vet said they want to take it off to test which will cost $1,066.
