First, you should consult your veterinarian to get advice about what treatment is best for your dog's condition. You may need to start with over-the-counter medications such as anti-inflammatories or antibiotics. Depending on the severity of the infection, it could also be recommended that you use prescription medication. Make sure to follow all instructions given by your vet regarding dosage, duration, and frequency of administration. Additionally, make sure to keep up with regular grooming and cleaning routines at home. Finally, consider consulting a holistic veterinarian if your dog has an underlying medical condition that could contribute to the infection.
