Guest driser Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Our guy scratch his hind leg on something getting into back aft of our SUV with 2nd row seat folded forward. All that detail to say, though we don't exactly what he scratched it on, it occurred inside the vehicle and therefore likely a piece of sharp plastic and not a rusty bumper. It's not at all deep, but long (running up back "ankle"). We have Antiseptic spray from Petco, but should we also use Neosporin or Bactracin on it?

Guest GryffinSong Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I would think if you've used an antiseptic spray you're ok, but I'm not a doctor. I've always just put a little Neosporin on, and/or washed the area with soap and water. I can't imagine that it would hurt anything though.

Guest snakes Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I use the neosporin spray, works great. I would think one or the other would be fine, shouldn't need both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamngrey Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Neo works great but just watch it cause they LOVE to lick it.

Guest driser Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Neo works great but just watch it cause they LOVE to lick it. I've learned that! And I learned he can still get to it with his muzzle on. Stinker. It's looking better after just one day so I'm just using the antiseptic spray since that soaks in faster than ointment. Thanks to each of you for your input!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest maidmarcia Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 I use Polysporin on Licorice's little scratches and bites he gets and it works amazingly. I think it's the same thing, just a different brand name. Again, he also tries to lick it up so we put it on and then cover it with gauze over night. Seems to work well.
