CUTS

[SID BULL CROSS 0]

Evening all.Just a quick question.What do you do when your dog gets cuts when hes out running.I use salt water as soon as i get home and put iodine on the cuts three times a day till it scabs.Anyone else know or use any other method.

 

Cheers.

i do the same when my lurcher wrippes his self on the barb wire iodine is good stuff

[rabitin girl 16]

I use salt water but not the iodine

i have used both in the past but normally if you dog cuts it self salty water is just as good but most times dog will take better care of it better than you by endless licking at it so i find best to leave it to them

Salt water seem's to be a favourite i also use wound powder which dry's the cut up and keep's shite from sticking to it.

my dogs just cut her pad on some glass, bathed it twice a day in salt water, short walks on lead, antiseptic spray. started to swell so took it to vet to get checked out. shes now got a bright green bandage half way up her leg, one of those big plastic collars on and shes on antobiotics and anti-inflammatrys. oh and im 65 quid lighter. and ive got to go back on bloody monday.

Cut & Heal spray, powder or cream they are all just the job for different injuries worth having all three in just in case....

i use salt water i also use potassium pamangamate on occasion after cleaning out with salt water, you can get a pot of it from some chemists, a little of it in a spray bottle full of water good stuff.

i would,nt use iodine am sure its not good for them,use wound powder and or just keep it clean.

Wash in warm salt water, then i apply cut and heal jel seem's to work very fast.

If its a small flesh wound or cut on a part of the body they can lick I just trim the hair away from it and leave them to lick it clean and let nature take its course, but if its a part of the body they cant lick, for example on the back of the neck or on their head etc, I trim the fur away and spray with septi cleanse the purple spray frano has allready mentioned
