Laceration to the leg - antibiotics needed?

[Cincy'sMom]

Oh! And I guess according to the docs at MSU, hydrogen peroxide is a big no no but neosporin is fine.

Maybe it is different for human and and K9, but our vet has always said the same thing...light coating of Neosporin...dont' cake it on. No hydrogen peroxide, it kills the good bacteria.

Glad Max is doing okay. Poor Chip.....he just wants ta play!!!

And here's anuddder Vet Tip >>>

When Mini~Mutt (Heidi) was recovering from the maggots and her self-mutilated paw,
The Head Vet told Tami to put "Preparation H" on the raw spots on her back and paw.

I asked Heidi's Dr. Jamie about that - she expressed wonderment at the idea,
but OK'd the idea if "The Boss" suggested it. Within a week or two of
doing the Preparation H smear on her raw spots, new pink skin was
starting to take hold, followed by new FUR Sprouts in most areas.

I got the layman's version that the Prep H increased the blood flow / circulation in
the area it was applied, which promoted healing.
Worked well on her paw and leg; but the bald area on her back will forever remain "bald" -
Doc J said that's all "scar tissue" that usually grows in without any hair follicles.

Oh well - she "distinctive" this way!

I heard that Prep H is good for those sag-bags under the eyes..now I know why....Not that I've ever TRIED it, of course

I'm glad Max is gonna be OK. Good 'Ole Mr Chips wouldn't hurt a fly.
