To reduce swelling in deeper skin layers in dogs, first consult your vet to determine the cause, such as infection, injury, or allergic reaction. Cold compresses can help minimize inflammation in the initial stages, while warm compresses may promote healing later. Keep the area clean and monitor for changes. If swelling is due to bacterial infection, your veterinarian may prescribe antibiotics such as cephalexin for dog, which is commonly used to treat skin and soft tissue infections. Ensure your pet gets adequate rest and proper nutrition to support recovery. Always follow veterinary guidance and never self-medicate without professional advice.
