Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 I used to leave them too until I had one go badly wrong and end in a t.b infection which was ,to say the least very expensive .Rat bites need cleaning out with some sort of antiseptic for which I now use hibiscrub .

Guest MOLLY Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 If you do not know the correct dilution % for antiseptics then do not use. We are now developing new strains of antiseptic resistant bacteria due to incorrect use...the same as incorrect use of anti biotics has created the AB resisitant MRSA and C Diff bacterias. I just bathe with cooled boiled water then let the dog tend to them, for all wounds. MOLL. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

earthdog dai 75 Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 hibiscrub works a treat mate, if any it does end up infected a jab of penicillin will do the job. Just keep an eye on it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
