Roxy has had a staph infection (mild) since the end of March. I was at the Vet on 5/19. He gave me Clavamox and an antihistamine. She was on both for 10 days. It looks like the pimples are clearing up, but she is still itchy.

In the mean time, I dapped some tea tree oil on a q-tip on a couple of the emerging pimples. This is the brand:

I did that 2x last week and then I bathed her over this weekend in Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Shampoo.

But now I am freaking out! Is this dangerous?????

I am reading that Tea Tree Oil is Toxic to dogs under 10lbs. Roxy is 5lbs.

PLEASE SOMEONE ANSWER ME!!!
