percho50 46 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 hi I got a dog on Saturday a saluki x cross,that was mis treated,he was very skinny,and his eyes were gunked up,and very watery,did not think that this lad would let him go so bad,so I have giving him best of grub and got him brolene for his eyes,washed him with flea shampoo and brushed him out,but the part I am stuck at is his legs and under his belly,he is full of sores and some of the hair is missing on legs,so top half I am doing real well but what do I get to get the sores off him and hair on his legs back,i put savlon All over his legs,any info would be great,he is coming on well since I wormed him glad to give him a 2 chance thanks if you'd can help me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scalesntails 118 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 First thing to do if he is as bad as you say is let a vet look at him so make sure there aren't any serious problems. Most of it will just be a case of keeping him warm, fed and clean. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sandymere 8,261 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 As above, would add that getting rid of fleas and feeding well will likely see the skin problems resolve in their own time once vet has given the all clear. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iworkwhippets 12,247 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 You seem to be doing a good job with him, but if that was my dog, a trip to the vets would be in order, plenty of fresh air will do him good. all the best to you. good luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hannah4181 260 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Sudocream will help to speed up the healing process of the sores, it will also help to prevent them getting infected. It may be worth using a better flea treatment than just shampoo .......... Frontline will kill fleas, eggs and lavea. If your stuck send me your address in a PM and i'll stick some in the post for you. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rikjd 8 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 tea tree oil in small doses is quite good for stuff like that but make sure its really weak as its poisonous to dogs to digest so if hes licking at the sores or anything he might get a bit poorly. Good on you for taking in a mistreated dog i hate seeing people do that to their animals but thats another rant haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Attack Fell Terrier 864 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Like what's already been said keep him up to date with his worming and flea treatments and he should be OK. Plenty of decent grub and a good fussing should build a good bond between you and the dog. Fair play for taking him on and looking after him, It's a good thing you're doing .

Annmarie09 5 Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Hibiscrub can be good for sore skin, well diluted. You can buy it on ebay and other sites. Only thing I would add to the above is to take your time feeding him up, don't try to stuff him full of food too quickly, his stomach won't be able to cope with it. Feed small meals often if you can. Good luck with him! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
