Can I Put Triple Antibiotic Ointment On My Dog
Camila Farah
After you have applied the triple antibiotic ointment or other antibiotic you may leave the wound open or bandaged depending on the location and other factors.
If the wound doesn t heal after four to seven days or appears worse take your dog to your veterinarian. Muzzling or restraining your dog prior to application of triple antibiotic cream is advised. Your dog does not understand that this is a healing product. Even if during application of the ointment the dog does not display aggression that wounded canines often do the dog s natural tendency to lick its wounds will remove the triple antibiotic cream prior to it being fully dissolved.
Applying triple antibiotic ointment apply the ointment to the wound or skin irritation several times a day and prevent your dog from licking it for at least 15 minutes. Other common antibiotics for wounds on dogs include a mixture of chlorhexidine and betadine furacin topical cream and 0 2 percent solution and 1 percent silvadene cream. Never use this ointment in your dog s eyes.
