I'm so sorry to hear about Bruzo's problems. If Bruzo is improving with his medications, it may just take a little longer for his signs to resolve. However, if he is getting worse or is no longer improving, then I think it is time to talk to your vet again. They may need to adjust his medications if he is not healing as expected. Good luck! I hope that was helpful and that Bruzo feels better soon. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
