My dog's skin infection looks bad despite treatment. Is it healing?

Question

Lina was seen by our GP and a dermatologist. She was diagnosed with a skin infection and took 14 days worth of Simplicef. The dermatologist just said to continue RX baths twice weekly and use the RX wipes, but this looks so bad to me!

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Lina. I didn't see what it looked like before, but from the pictures, I can say that does not look bad to me. I have seen much worse skin infections, and hopefully this means that the medication prescribed is working and her skin is healing. I would keep using the medication as prescribed, and keep in touch with the dermatologist if you have any further questions or concerns. I hope this helps!
