Guest hshirlow Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Sunshine keeps getting cuts on her legs, and I don't know what to do to get them to heal quickly. Last night, she licked open her wound and it was bleeding all over. I can't put bandages on them for she eats everything. Any advice? Is there a liquid glue I can use?

CaliforniaGreys Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Just went through this with Lenny and his leg. Could not get it to heal until I used the EMT gel and vet wrap and it healed well and fairly quickly. Good luck Quote Missing my little Misty who took a huge piece of my heart with her on 5/2/09, and Ekko, on 6/28/12 For the sick, the lost, and the homeless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Energy11 Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 EMT Gel is good or Trypzyme V gel or spray ... both will heal the skin well. Maybe using a pair of toddler socks to cover the wounds? Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Javasmom Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Java did that for a while. Dogs do tend to lick when something hurts, even if it is joint pain. About the only thing I could do is distract him by giving him a bone or a kong. He'd tire himself out then fall asleep. Eventually it healed.

Guest DylanGospel Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 This is a fairly new product that we got from our vet. It really is amazing. She said that if the dog doesn't lick it off for five minutes, it will work. It's called Quick Derm. I've used many, and this is by far the best!

DesiRayMom Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 I used Collasate ointment (from vet) on a leg wound. It's healing beautifully, but I know it's hard to keep them from licking or chewing off bandages. Vet wrap kept slipping off....I finally wound up using one of my socks (wound too high up for a toddler sock) & taped it on with medical tape. Amazingly, he left it alone. Good luck.
