Things You'll Need
- Pet's medication
- Medicated shampoo
- Bandages
Instructions
Give your dog the prescribed medication as directed. Antibiotics should be given until they are finished. If antibiotics are not given until completion, the infection may not be eliminated.
Bathe your dog with a medicated shampoo formulated for skin infections. The shampoo will help soothe the skin and make it less irritated.
Cover any open wounds with bandages to keep the wounds from becoming re-infected. Change the bandages frequently to prevent further infections.
Wash the dog's bedding. Keeping the area where the dog stays clean will help ensure the infection does not recur.
