[grompz 703]

any one recommend any good products for healing and closing up cuts and wounds on dogs, been using pettifers green  gel, but would like to know what works for other folk,maybe some sort of equestrian stuff works,think there is something called cut and heal any body knowif its anygood for dogs.

Cut and heal ok but manuka honey better

I'd wank and cum on the wound, it will heal better

Derma gel the best I'v used brilliant stuff imo..

[leegreen 2,099]

does no one use salt water, fresh air and dog lick?  Always though clean dry wounds healed the quickest.

[Fellman Mark 605]

It’s salt water wash for my mutts for most things they always heal up fine 

[C.green 3,203]

Aye for most things that derma gel is bang on best gel/ointment ive used. That dry cow is decent but isnt something id use all the time myself.

[grompz 703]

thanks lads for your replies, will try the derma gel ointment,when you mention  dry cow, is that what they call udder cream .

Small shallow tears bit of salt water, deeper stuff heal better moist so gels help.

I think it has a cephalexin antibiotic so pretty broad coverage of infection, only worries would be increasing antibiotic resistance generally and price. Lot of wound gels about without Abx's likely do as well if the wound was cleaned well in the 1st instance. Depends on wound type, puncture wounds such as bites are a different kettle of fish to tears and may be difficult to clean properly so an Abx gel can be useful.

Any thoughts on dry cow used on dogs sandy, you seem to speak ye mind?

The synolux one iv'e found don't help at all,in fact iv'e a few tubes left of it and i'll not be using it any more although other brands iv'e used iv'e never had an issue with.Had a terrier take some stick before xmas and used manuca honey on him (advised by the vet) and my god i could see a difference every day in them closing up and a jar permanantly sits in my dog first aid kit..
