Anyone on here happen to be a self proclaimed veterinarian? (or real one)

 

Damn, I get it for $6 at NorthernTool. And I thought that was good. Too bad the local TSC is too far enough away to negate any savings I'd have by buying it there.

 

No, but I am a self proclaimed gynecologist....

 

^^

hahahahahaha

 

I'm not a vet but have alot of experience along those lines. Why?

 

Odd looking sore on one of the pups leg.

 

Only $6 at Northern? I would have assumed $20, they charge way too much for everything.

 

Looks like some bug is living in there maybe

 

That's kinda what I think. Don't wanna pull it out though, not sure what it's attached to...

 

Either parasite or some bacteria, either way here's a quick fix I've had great success with on other sores etc.

Disclaimer: I am not a veterinarian nor am intending to take the place of a veterinarian. I take no liability whatsoever for any damages incurred by following my advice.

In my experience here's what works.

You'll need cayenne pepper and olive oil. Mix enough of each together to make a paste that will thoroughly cover the wound. It should not be a stiff paste but not terribly runny either. After cleaning it, apply the solution. It may burn or sting bad, but it will both disinfect the wound and kill any parasite or bacteria. It will also draw more blood flow to the wound to allow faster healing. Just a note: More than likely the dog will want to lick it even more, it is IMPORTANT to prevent this as much as possible, if you need to use a neck cone to prevent it from turning its head enough to be able to lick it's leg. It is best to apply it once a day at the beginning of the day.

And optionally, in addition to the above, you can put some raw honey on the wound at the end of the day after cleaning it again. This will sting at first but will eventually help to sooth it and encourage faster healing.

Hope this helps, it is what I have done.

Lemme know what you do.
