Smile Sore, swollen feet

Hello, my Duke has lived with his feet hurting for years but lately his feet are worse. I'm a regular at my vet, as my Standard Poodle has Addisons Disease,. so Duke is often with for our monthly visits. We just cannot figure what's causing his feet allergies. So, I'm hoping someone from here has some experience or suggestions. I've soaked his feet with prescriptions, bag balm, grain free food, prednisone. this just breaks my heart knowing he is in pain and I cannot figure out what the problem is,,,,any suggestions?

Welcome Sir Dukes mom,
What part of the world do you live in?
How old is Duke?

From the limited description it sounds like this:
Pododermatitis (Interdigital Dermatitis) - Page 1

I'm assuming there are sores on his feet? Have you ever had a scraping and culture done to see what you are dealing with?
