jabber, I'm not a vet, but when one of my dogs had skin lesions, I bathed it with Goldenseal. You can buy that in capsules, open the capsules and mix the powder in hot water. Once it cools, apply to the lesion. Another thing you can do is use Vitamin E - the liquid from capsules. I would be hesitant to use any ointment, because there is a long list of things that can harm dogs if they lick it, or scratch it with their paws and lick their paws.

Does your vet vaccinate for Bordatella? It's also called kennel cough and can develop into bronchitis. It's picked up from other dogs, so if she's at the groomers, or the dog park, she can pick it up very easily. Since I take Spud to the groomer, he's vaccinated every 6 months for Bordatella. It's a nasal drop so very easy to give. I'm glad she's doing better!
