Guest guest Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 I've healed my dog's scrapes and wounds successfully by keeping them clean initially with a mild soap and warm water, and then rinsing them 2x daily with hydrogen peroxide, and using nelson's homeopathic ointments/creams--hypericum, and calendula, or home made variety with herbes infused in olive oil w/beeswax to make a salve. They've healed beautifully. We haven't had to deal with any infection or abscess though. I would probably not hesitate to use a topical antibiotic additionally if I needed to combat an infection. My dog has been bit on his big floppy ears several times, and when every thing was healed there was lumpy scar tissue that our vet suggested we massage with a lubricant or without (like vit. e), whatever would be tolerated. It did reduce the tissue and all the fur grew back fine.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 If you do find you need an antibiotic, there is one called Fungisan that is sold for animals. It looks/smells like water, and it's ok for them to lick. Works in ears, for ringworm, for pretty much anything. Good stuff to keep around, just in case. If you bandage it, be sure it's dry under the bandage, or you can get a fungal infection, which is what I did to me once! That's when I discovered Fungisan, which worked great to get rid of it.
