Scratching sores open, help!!!

Generic neosporan works just as well but you have to apply it more. I really cant operate as a vet, but I have learned a few things over the years. I am also in a remote area, and have learned things to help until I can get the dogs to the vet. Our vet is closed on saturdays, and doesnt reopen til sunday evening but they are great.
I was told actually by them to use neosporan for abrasions, cuts, and one time Hottie stepped on a hot coal when we had a fireplace before we put the wood stove in. That is what they told me to use.
One time a hot ash from my husbands cig fell on my doberman. That is what they suggested also. It has antibiotics on it, and vaseline to keep the skin moist and lubricated to heal as well. Make sure its the antiobiotic kind..

You might want to check with the vet to see if it would be safe to use a little lanacain or preperation H on the area to relieve the pain too.

From your description, this is not merely superficial, but rather a 3rd degree burn that requires the supervision of a vet or someone with experience to actually view the extent of the wound and prescribe treatment.

Well neosporin does has a pain reliever that is safe as I found out with Hottie when he stepped on a hot ember before we got the woodstove verses a fireplace..

Just wanted to let you know after a long search, I found a vet that will take payments. So I am going to be able to at last take my Pip in to see some one. I am just relived that I can get some help for him now. The generic Neosporin I have been putting on him, has been working. But I want to make certain that nothing else is wrong with him. Thanks for all your helpful ideas.
