My dog has a skin infection and I'm worried. What should I do?

First, make sure your dog is comfortable and warm. You can provide extra blankets or put them in a cozy bed. Second, check for any visible signs of infection such as redness, swelling, pus, or discharge. If there are any, you should take your dog to the vet right away. Third, clean the affected area with warm water and a mild soap. Fourth, apply an antibiotic ointment or cream twice a day. Finally, monitor your dog's condition closely over the next few days.
