It usually takes a while for the antibiotics to take effect and for the infection to begin healing. Keep up with the medication, the cleansing and the other excellent suggestions mentioned here. Sadly, this is a condition my "Bulldog family" friends tell me their pups are prone to. With time, the advice of your vet and your excellent care, I believe you can keep this condition under control. Your Alfred is a sweetie!! Hugs to him from us here. And please let us know how he's doing!!
