Epsom salt soak is a good idea! Also bentonite clay or French green clay could be used, especially overnight to draw out whatever it is. Mix the clay with water to reconstitute to a clay consistency. Apply generously to paw. Cover with plastic wrap and cohesive tape. Remove dressing and rinse paw (or do another Epsom salt soak.) It may take several applications to draw out whatever it is. Keep us posted!
