Guest Scarter55 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Lady seems to constantly be getting little scrapes and cuts. We've been using Vetericyn All Animal HydroGel Spray, but I was wondering if anyone else has found anything that works well. Also, Lady hates the fact that it is a spray, so if you have had any luck with a cream or something that would be helpful as well. Thanks!

ramonaghan Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I like colloidal silver gel for hounds and humans both.

OwnedBySummer Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 (edited) If you want a cream, perhaps you (or, more importantly, Lady) would like EMT Gel. I get it from The GEM Store.

Guest Clawsandpaws Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 If you want a cream, perhaps you (or, more importantly, Lady) would like EMT Gel. I get it from The GEM Store. EMT gel was the best discovery I ever made. I gave a tube to our kennel manager, he is sold now too! It is amazing! Although it is important to make sure the gel is thoroughly dry before trying to cover it with anything (if you cover it at all) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaFlaca Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 EMT gel and/or spray. Wendy is always getting nasty cuts on her back legs. I apply the the gel first then the spray (which contains Bitrex) so she won't lick the wounds. Miraculous stuff.

cleptogrey Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 i'm really old fashioned, saline solution irrigates it and it's cheap and easy. felix is ALWAYS getting cuts, his most recent was a 1" deep and 1" long gash behind and under his dew claw....ouch! my vet didn't want to staple it since that would drive him crazy and i bandaged it well and it was starting to clot nicely(1hr after the cut). so, i continued the saline, 8 days later healed! remarkable what saliva and saline solution will do. i use french gray sea salt which i buy at the health food store. btw- it brings out the flavor in soups and sauces as well. expensive but works well!
