I noticed that Asher was bleeding a little bit so I decided to take a look& saw this. Most likely, Mía got snippy w/ him or they were playing too rough (Mía is famous for that, even at doggy daycare when she was just a puppy) it certainly wouldn’t be
These skin lesions are probably not from a bite. It looks like a mild skin infection. The Vetericyn you are using should be all you need. If you want to get this product and put it on after the Vetericyn has dried you can do that but it is probably not necessary, https://www.walgreens.com/store/c/walgreens-triple-antibiotic-with-pain-relief/ID=prod6210768-product

Hello. You should be able to treat this yourself. By the way it looks, I would be using wet dressings to help with drainage. You can use many materials, but the least expensive would be a woman's sanitary napkin or other thicker absorbant pad. Cut the pad to slightly larger than the wound & wet the bandage with sterile saline ( most pharmacies will have some type of simple saline wound wash ). Wet the pad so it is damp but not dripping & bandage this to the leg. No need for antibiotics, although plain granulated sugar or even honey placed on the pad will add an antimicrobial element to the dressing. Change the dressing daily & you will be surprised how much debris will be on the pad each day. Just keep doing this & the wound should start to look much better in another week to 10 days. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

I am a 62 year old disabled woman on SSI and I have a 9 year old spayed dachshund. She has not been to a vet since 2012 and she had allergic reaction to shots so there was a shot that was given prior to vaccinations. Suede has had a flea problem and
I'm sorry but it looks like your question got cut off. I'm not sure if I will be actually answering you correctly. If not, please post again with more information and photos of your pet's skin if you would like some product recommendations. Petco offers low cost vaccination, deworming, flea/tick/heartworm prevention, nail clipping, etc. through their weekend VETCO clinics inside their stores. It doesn't appear that there are any close to you though - the closest one is about 40 miles away. If you are willing to drive this may be your least expensive option. They do not charge an exam fee. Tractor Supply also has a similar program. ( https://www.vetcoclinics.com/services-and-clinics/clinic-locations-and-schedules/?zip=66095 ) ( https://petvet.vippetcare.com/find-a-clinic/ ) I found this housecall vet in your area. You can certainly contact them to check their pricing: ( http://vetsonwheels.website/mobile-vet-services-in-williamsburg-ks-we-come-to-you-in-kansas.html ) This is

My dog has allergies and is currently on Apoquel. But she has some what im sure is staph in her skin and I want to know whats the treatment for this, and how long is gonna take for the skin to clear up. Every vet that has take skin scraps tell me tha
Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! I treat bacterial skin infections with oral antibiotics, medicated baths that get bacteria (miconazole just gets yeast) and since this is chronic I would recommend a prescription novel protein or hydrolyzed diet to rule out food allergies as the cause. I would also start an oral antihistamine and Omega 3 fish oils. I tell my clients with chronic allergies to expect to be on apoquel, a special diet, an antihisamine and Omega 3 fish oils for the rest of the pets life. If there is a pustule (white head) the Vet can culture that to be sure that the correct antibiotic is chosen. It takes 3 weeks or longer to clear a bacterial skin infection with the correct antibiotic, this requires you to follow up with your vet to be sure the infection is 100% gone before the antibiotic is stopped. The links below are some recommendations for products. I also like Nordic Naturals as an Omega 3 option I wish Lola Blue the best! https://www.vrshealth.com/canine-produc

It has been determined that my dog has fleas. We took him to an emergency vet last month and got Nexgard for him there (only a 1 month dose). We are coming up on the 2nd month and have nowhere to get more nexgard and his condition has gotten worse as
You can get Nexgard at any one of our VETCO clinics in your area: ( https://www.vetcoclinics.com/services-and-clinics/clinic-locations-and-schedules/?zip=34639 ) I suggest you use Knockout Spray ES to treat the house and a yard spray to treat the yard. ( https://www.allivet.com/p-1389-knockout-es-area-treatment.aspx?SearchTerm=knockout+Auto ) ( https://www.allivet.com/p-9065-vet-kem-yard-spray-32-oz.aspx?SearchTerm=yard%20spray+Auto ) You can use this hot spot medication on the lesion that he still has on his body. You will need to get him a cone collar to stop him from chewing that spot until you can get the fleas and his discomfort under control. The lesion will not heal unless he stops chewing at it. ( https://www.allivet.com/p-2846-vetericyn-plus-hot-spot-spray.aspx?SearchTerm=hot%20spot+Auto ) ( https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/contech-procone-soft-recovery-collar ) If he doesn't improve then you will need to get him back to the vet for an exam.
