Antibiotics that could be prescribed for secondary skin infections include Clavamox and Cephalexin among others. The type of antibiotic prescribed by your vet depends on the type of bacterial infection they find on Keo's skin. Again, all prescription medication should be used under the direct supervision of your veterinarian.

Unfortunately, it is illegal for the experts at Boop by Petco to prescribe any drugs without seeing the animal in person first. In order to have antibiotics recommended and prescribed, Sandy will have to see a vet.

This would depend on the type of antibiotic being treated. Do not medicate your pet without the advice of your veterinarian. Inappropriate antibiotic use can lead to resistant bacteria and may complicate any underlying condition.

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

Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Chronic ear infections are likely allergy related. I recommend changing Sampson's diet. Chicken is the most common allergic protein. I would try a venison, beef, or all fish diet. You need to give the diet 2-3 months and he can not get any other foods: No table food, no milk bones, non raw hides, etc. The only treats he can get would be ones that have the new protein in it. Your Vet is the only place you can get antibiotics sadly. You can try calling them and seeing if they will prescribe something if they have seen him recently. Otherwise if you can't get him in the car I would find a mobile Vet to come to your house. I hope this helps and I wish Sampson the best!
