I do,even the most miniscule of cuts and knocks i treat in a few moments, them few moments of care aid the dog as the season unfolds,i possibly understand your true meaning but a little care and attention is more than beneficial to the mutt as its season progresses.
If I let those small cuts heal my dogs wouldn't be hunting much at all, my dogs don't even notice things like that so it's hard to tell if they've even got them.
