Treat your dog's infected paw at home by first cleaning the area with warm water and a mild antiseptic. Gently dry the paw and apply a pet-safe antibiotic ointment. Wrap the paw in a clean bandage to prevent further contamination and discourage licking. Change the bandage daily and monitor for signs of improvement. If the infection persists, consult a veterinarian for further treatment.
