Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Usually with antibiotics as most of the time there is a secondary infection present. If your veterinarian suspects a secondary infection, they could prescribe antibiotics. You can also use an e-collar to prevent self trauma. Good luck!
