Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I would agree that if Trick is not getting better by then it would be very important to have him evaluated by your veterinarian. The main reason is that cellulitis needs to be treated and re-evaluated promptly as these lesions can worsen very easily and it is always better to be cautious. Good luck!
