- Finish all prescribed medications even if your dog appears better.
- Watch for any worsening symptoms or new signs of illness.
- Keep your dog comfortable and hydrated while recovering.
Bacterial infections in dogs can vary in severity, but with proper care, most dogs recover well. It's good to monitor your dog for changes in behavior, appetite, and energy levels, as these can give you clues about his recovery. Ensure you follow any instructions from your vet, including completing any prescribed medications.
