Thanks for using Boop by Petco! If Freckles appears to have secondary skin infections, you could consider medicated shampoos containing chlorhexidine. This is generally good in these type of scenarios. Fish oil is a supplement that may also prove beneficial. Good luck!

I don't recommend giving her any antibiotics unless directed by a vet that has examined her and confirmed that she actually has mastitis. Also, the amount of antibiotics that she would need depends on the exact antibiotic and the concentration of the antibiotic.

Yes, I would use better drops for your dogs. The cheap ones don't work as well because the active ingredients are not as strong as the ones you can get from the vet. I don't recommend using Frontline because I personally have seen resistance to it, as have colleagues of mine. I recommend using Advantage or Revolution, but as an oral flea treatment, NexGard is good, as well as Comfortis and Trifexis.

Hi there and thank you for using Boop by Petco to address your concern. This product is labelled for human use and has no information available for animals that I could find. I would say that most of the ingredients formulated in the phytoplex are safe for use in dogs, however, use with caution as there is no information on its safety in animals. There are safer options out there such as Vetericyn or hydrocortisone spray that I would recommend before using Phytoplex. I hope this helps!

I am sorry to hear about your dog! I would recommend the Duoxo Calm line of products, https://www.douxo.com/us/douxo-solutions/douxo-calm , a fatty acid supplement such as Welactin, and I would talk to your vet about an over the counter antihistamine such as Benadryl or Zyrtec https://www.petcoach.co/search/?query=can%20i%20give%20benadryl https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/zyrtec/.
