johnnyboy28 1 Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 I have just bought a Lurcher which has been doing hard graft , he has scars and scabs all over him ,legs body and face. is there anything i can bath him in or rub into him to help him heal better/quicker???? He is 3/4 whippet x Bull 20" tts I have never owned a dog which can jump / climb like this dog he got out of my garden over 7 ft of wooden fence which my other bigger lurchers dont even attempt. Does this come from the Bull in him?? Quote Link to post

Does this come from the Bull in him?? 1. You say heal.......does this mean he has fresh wounds?...... if its scared...then its scared....end of 2. some dogs are springy...some are not............... dogs withmore fire in their bellies are more likely to jump.......could quite easily be the bull....but it really matters not. I just hope you havent bought a smashed lurcher...thats been off loaded at the back end of season.....like so many unfortunate dogs are Edited March 4, 2008 by Paul in North Lincs Quote Link to post

rabitin girl 16 Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 When you say a lot of scabs do you mean old wounds or is the dog itchy at all. If the dog is scratching it might be a skin problem such as mange ect Quote Link to post

Does this come from the Bull in him?? scars and scabs on face from bites or something else and how recent Sommat don't smell right here....... Bosun It is a genuine question , some of the cuts are fresh some are old, he is scared up bad with old wounds. its the more recent ones i am interested in, just making the dog heal quicker and make him more comfortable and less itchy. It is not mange or any other skin complaint at all. The only thing that dont smell right is your breath Bosun. Thanks for your input Blackdug i will give you a ring later today Scouser 3038 Does this answer your question on why i have posted it? If not just keep your mouth shut Edited March 5, 2008 by johnnyboy28 Quote Link to post
Missie 1 Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 (edited) Bob Grass does some good skin ointment. I'll try and find you a link. If mine get minor cuts and scrapes I bathe them and clean them up with Hibiscrub and use Sudocrem (nappy cream) on them. Its brilliant for things like that but sometimes you have to cover the wounds to stop the cream being licked off. Edited to add the link: Bob Grass Its the skincure you want.

Merlin Hunter 0 Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 (edited) I use cut and heal on wounds, it has tea tree oil to keep them clean, they do a non aerosol spray which you can use when out with the dogs. http://www.northolm.co.uk/advanced_search_...amp;x=0&y=0 Blackdug- which wash do you use with tea tree in it? Edited to add, cut and heal is supposed to promote hair growth over the injury. Edited March 5, 2008 by Merlin Hunter Quote Link to post
