My puppy just got diagnosed with Impetigo (after tons of visits and money wasted) i took her to a different doctor and he told me its like puppy acne. He put her on anti biotics but it came back, so now he gave me another 7 day refill to keep her on them. I have read however that hydrogen peroxide can help clear it up. She is 6 months old, so i wanted to know if thats ok? or how do i use it? how much of it? do i dab a cotton ball and put it on the spot? anyone have any remedies for this?

thanks for ur hlep!!!
