Title: Dog owners or vet question
Post by: tigers_gonads on 07 August 2012, 19:48:11
Can you use bog standard antiseptic cream that us humans use on a dog ?

I've a big hairy arsed german shepperd who has been chewing and licking a cut on his paw.
The cut is clean and is covered up with a sock when he is in the house but i'm just looking to help it heal a little quicker.

Great  :y

It has scabbed over ok but every chance he gets, he trys to lick / chew the scab off which just opens the wound up again  ::)

A dog breeder friend recommended Germolene to me, as dogs don't like the taste so they won't lick off.  :y

I've used it ever since.

Salt water bathing is good for cleaning and treating minor wounds, as told by a vet many years ago when treating, my then cat, that had bite wounds from an unknown animal, presumed to be a Badger... :y :y

Savlon is safe enough. A lot of animal medicine contains the same active ingredients as human stuff, but with different flavourings to make them more palatable, so dog tablets are often a meaty tasting version of the minty human stuff!

Disclaimer: Before anyone sues me I'm not saying you should take dog medicine, seek proper medical advice if you are poorly etc etc

Urh, my mam used to blather that stuff on me everytime I had the slightest scrape when I was a kid  >:(
Bloody discusting stuff and smells foul  :'(

Right, next time the mut doesn't do as he is told, i'll blather him in germolene   :-X
That will teach him  :D

ps ............ i'll give it a try since it tastes and smells so bad  :y :y

I wonder if it works on 16 year olds  :D
