Guest Plinks Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Are these OK to use with a grey? Zeus had a coursing event last weekend and he scratched himself on his inside left hind leg. The scratch is about 3 inches long and I'm not too worried about that. But he has a small cut that maybe 3/8 to 1/2 in long. Its small but since its near on his inner leg and near the achillies tendon area he keep opening it up when he's playing. Its nothing that needs stitches, but I want to keep it together and clean. I was going to put a butterfly bandage on it and some neosporine just to keep it pulled together and infection out. Also some liquid bandage. Are these OK with greys? I know that they are more sensitive to chemicals than other breeds so I wanted to get some input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ProudGreyMom Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 I prefer to use just a general anti-biotic ointment. I think I would pass on the liquid Band-Aid stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rsqdogsmom Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 You shouldn't use anything under the liquid bandage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest greytexplorer Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 I've used liquid bandaid on myself, and boyohboy does it sting! <ouch> And for that reason, I don't use it on my gyrls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trudy Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 yeah, try liquid bandaid on yourself before ever thinking of using it on another living creature. I wouldn't use it and if he's not bothering the scratch, I'd just make sure it is clean and leave it be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbotaina Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 For this one, if it's just a scrape, clean it with mild soap and water and it should be OK. For future stuff, get some EMT gel - doesn't sting and is a really good product. I use neosporin all the time with no ill effects. Quote Meredith with Heyokha (HUS Me Teddy) and Crow (Mike Milbury).

Guest 2dogs Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 (edited) My vet sells a super product that also does not let the wound scar. I am sorry the name escapes me a moment. I can show you pictures of my girl's leg and show you what they look like now. No real scars. I remember-- ok well I found it. Collasate Postoperative Dressing, 7 gram Tube its not cheep but I don't think the EMS stuff is either. It does not sting. I have used it on myself also.
