if it dont need stitching i normaly use blustone on cuts soon as i get in , and just keep my eye on them , i think if you fuss to much with it , dog keeps licking it and it dont heal as quick.

Always found cut heal helps to speed up the healing time for cuts and wounds.

They are moving away from chemical cleaning of uninfected, clean wounds as many antiseptic type treatments actualy damage the new tissue and may slow development of the forming capillaries. Water is favorite. Did the vet advise cleaning or dressings? if not a telephone call to them might be worth a thought. I've a bitch that worries wounds and can turn a scratch into an open wound in a couple of days, I use a tee shirt, tied at the waste, to stop her getting to wounds on the front end.
