BlueCoyote 0 Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 i'm no expert but it doesnt look like it needs anything - judging from the pics anyway. looks like healthy scar tissue. i say leave it alone for a few days if its not bothering the dog. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tis TM 8 Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 It does look fairly healthy yeah, but its hard to see from the pic if its raised or not... The only thing I would say is that mucus from the nose carries alot of bacteria, so if the dogs nose has been running over an open wound big or small, it could create a bit of an infection... Just keep an eye on it for changes, and keep up with the the regular bathing. (I'd probably cut out the TCP and just use salt water) Also, the dog can lick alot in that area, so it might be irritating it itself..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
