Red skin. Scratching. Maybe a wound that isn’t healing.
You know something’s not right, and you want to fix it quickly.
It can come out of nowhere.
One minute your dog is fine. Then you notice redness, swelling, or a patch they won’t stop licking.
Maybe it’s a wound that’s not healing properly. Maybe there’s discharge or a smell you can’t ignore.
You try to keep it clean. You watch it closely.
But it’s not improving.
That’s when you know it needs proper treatment.
What causes skin infections in dogs?
Skin infections in dogs are often caused by bacteria entering through cuts, bites, or irritated skin.
They can also develop from underlying issues like allergies, parasites, or excessive scratching.
Left untreated, infections can worsen and become more uncomfortable for your dog.
How are dog skin infections treated?
Most bacterial skin infections are treated with prescription antibiotics.
One of the most commonly prescribed options is Synulox, which helps clear the infection and support healing.
Your vet will confirm the diagnosis and provide a prescription if needed.
