sandymere 8,263 Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 (edited) Keep clean, good old warm water is best, allow time to heal, keep an eye that all is well, most superficial scratches etc should heal fine on their own. There are lots of sprays, ointments etc on the market but in truth they won't stop an infection if its going to happen or speed up healing and most will just be licked off by the dog from all but the most inaccessible wounds any way.

skycat 6,174 Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 I have the same problem with my whirrier. His ears are constantly raw at the edges and gouged along the flaps. I use Vaseline, but I also slather them in Sudacrem before he works: helps to stop them getting caught up, not completely, but it helps. Every few weeks he has to have an enforced rest on the lead for a few days to allow them to heal a bit more. But they won't heal up properly until late spring! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
