My dog ripped his nail off. Bleeding is stopped but it's broke right down to his hair and his quik is very exposed. Idon't have much antibiotics to wrap it up till tomorrow. But I have something called woun'dres - collagen hydrogel wound dressing. A
You can use both. A thin layer of iodine ointment will serve to help prevent infection. The Woun’ dres can be applied over it. If Caesar is likely to lick it, I recommend an e-collar. He may chew and eat a bandage if he isn’t wearing an e-collar. Bandages are also tricky because they can trap moisture and can tighten, cutting off circulation to the paw. I would continue applying both three times a day until the nail bed appears completely dry and scabbed over. You can place a toddler sock or a bootie over the paw when you take Caesar outside to pee and poop but I would avoid long walks for the next week. Good luck!

Yesterday my puppy had a procedure his vet took out inner sutures after neuter that caused irritation for a month, they only cut his skin and put outer suture to close the skin, but at night he kicked the wound open and today the vet closed the skin
That looks fine for the stage it's at. Rather than cover the wound with a bandage, I would put an e-collar or an inflatable collar on him that will keep him from licking at it, unless he's getting to it with his hind claws. In that case you can put baby socks on his hind feet to keep his claws from getting into the staples. If you do keep it covered, change the bandage daily or twice daily if the wound oozes a bit.

Pet had skin die off, back rt foot (after severe abscess in back rt hip threatened amputate) Vet removed dead, new skin growth underneath. This left atleast 50% of exposed flesh, the other has new skin growth. Antibiocs & cleaning w/chlorhexidine 2xs
Ouch! In some cases where wounds are on areas that can't be closed by suturing or are constantly being agitated, keeping the wound covered to prevent increasing infection/debris from entering the wound may be needed. I've seen success with using manuka honey for treating large infected wounds and increasing healing, (usually with bandage changes every 12-24 hours) as well as using hydrocolloid bandages that protect the area by acting as a sort of skin barrier, allowing the wound to breathe but continue to heal/allow for new tissue growth underneath without allowing debris into it. There is also progress being made with using fish-skin bandages to create another fake skin barrier and allow healing underneath. If you're not currently, I'd recommend speaking with a veterinary dermatologist who can better instruct you in these procedures and monitor progress over time.

took bruno out for a walk and a fish bone got stuck in his leg deep inside , i took him to vet he removed it .he is able to walk , jump properly and there is no swellen but that site is red and when i apply medicine it pains , should i put bandage on
If he is licking at it, use an Elizabethan collar (cone) or apply a light bandage. use caution when applying bandages though. if you make it too tight, you may cause more harm than good. Restrict Bruno's activity to just short leash walks for elimination. Avoid excessive running, jumping or rough play until he is feeling better.

Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! I am so sorry that Nanna is so sick! It sounds like he has a severe skin infection or abscess that is causing septicemia. The skin is dying from the infection. It may take time for the skin to all fully declare itself. Once that happens hopefully the skin can be closed primarily or with a skin flap. But if it can't be maybe amputation of the limb is possible. I would not let Nanna lick the leg and I do not recommend bandaging it unless that is what your Vet recommends. Bandaging such a severe wound would require daily bandage changes and special bandage material that wouldn't allow the skin to stick to it. I would recommend using an Elizabethan collar (cone) or donut to prevent licking. I wish you both the best of luck! http://pet-supplies.drsfostersmith.com/search?w=elizabethan%20dog%20collar
