How to deal with localised abscesses in dogs

To deal with local abscesses in dogs, measures are taken to reduce inflammation, relieve pain and promote the dissipation and absorption of inflammatory products. Abscesses in the early stages of acute inflammatory cell infiltration can be treated locally with anti-inflammatory and analgesic ointments such as camphor cream and ichthyolite ointment. When the inflammatory exudate has ceased, the dissipation and absorption of inflammatory products is promoted by warmth therapy, etc., while systemic antibiotics or sulphonamides are administered.
