Contact your veterinarian for an update or recheck. DO not stop treatment unless directed by your vet. Consider a veterinary probiotic (Bene-Bac, ProViable, ProStora, FortiFlora) to promote gut health. Use a pet wipe or plain unscented baby wipe to keep her bottom clean. An e-collar (cone) can be used if she is licking. Ointment is not recommended in case she licks it off and ingests it.
