sandymere 8,263 Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Vets often prescribe co-amoxiclav, brand name synulox, for bite wounds but a lot depends on the wound etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

skycat 6,174 Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 I always use a penicillin cream that comes in a plastic syringe: its made for cows with mastitis: ideal for syringing into deep cuts and bites: things that need to heal naturally from the inside. I buy it from my vet and its about £4 per tube: a tube usually lasts me a good season: clean the wound well with salt water and insert the tip of the syringe nozzle as far as you can into the wound and press the plunger gently until a little cream oozes out. You will usually find that once a dog has been bitten a few times the reaction to bites is not nearly so severe as the first time as the dog will have built up some antibodies to fight the bacteria in a fox's bite.
