Canine cellulitis does not necessarily require surgery. Mild cases of cellulitis are usually treated with oral antibiotics, and most dogs can recover after a period of time. However, if the condition is more serious, surgical resection is required. The therapeutic effect of surgical resection will be ideal and the surgical damage will be relatively small.
