There is a shampoo that can help somewhat but likely won't completely resolve this infection without prescription antibiotics through your vet. The shampoo is called Duoxo Chlorhexidine shampoo --> https://www.amazon.com/Douxo-Chlorhexidine-Shampoo-16-9-oz/dp/B000O1HEJ0/ref=sr_1_5?crid=3IX1JOHHEE23W&dchild=1&keywords=duoxo+shampoo+for+dogs&qid=1587904785&sprefix=duoxo+shampoo%2Caps%2C144&sr=8-5 I hope that this helps. Best of luck with your pet Bruno moving forward. Take care.
