Symptoms of cellulitis in dogs:

1. Dogs with mild infection usually show redness, swelling and pain in a certain part of the body. The infected area spreads from the middle to the periphery, and eventually ulcers appear.

2. Dogs with severe infection have many affected areas and many symptoms are not obvious, accompanied by systemic symptoms such as tenderness, fever, and convulsions.

3. If cellulitis occurs in the chin and neck, it may compress the trachea, causing difficulty in breathing or even suffocation.

4. Cellulitis caused by anaerobic bacteria will cause skin necrosis, accompanied by pus and fishy odor, and often occurs in private parts and wounds on the abdomen and back.

Solutions to dog cellulitis:

1. Cut the hair of the dog’s affected area short and expose the affected area for easy application of medicine.

2. If the wound has not yet suppurated, clean the affected area with sulfur soap, then apply Ichthyostatin ointment on the affected area, and change the dressing twice a day.

3. When you find swelling and expansion in the affected area, you need to go to the hospital to drain the pus and drain the fluid from the affected area, and make a small opening in the wound to drain the fluid. Finally, a sealing injection is applied to the affected area.

4. According to different pathogenic bacteria, select appropriate antibiotics for long-term systemic administration, with a minimum of about one month.
