Hello ,

I understand your concern.

I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious disease specialist, answering your concern.

MRSA requires complete treatment other wise it recurs. If it recurs it has many other resistant drugs gene with in it.

I advice you to take complete treatment again with mupirocin.

Once you complete the treatment it is advised to take the swab from umbilicus, groin, nasal mucosa for MRSA screening. If you are clear with MRSA on this screening there is no need for further treatment.

If you find any further MRSA than there is need for further treatment.

I advice you strict hand washing before and after touching your dog.

If dog receives MRSA than it will be very difficult to clear from it, this MRSA will be returned to you and vice versa.

I will be happy to answer your further concern you can contact me here or you can contact me on bit.ly/DrArun
We wish you a best health at healthcare magic.
Thank you,
Dr. Arun Tank
