Wounds on a dog & Leather Muzzle cleaning tips

[Karen]

Besides keeping the leather clean (any saddle shop can tell you that) what about, at least for now, wrapping gauze around the part that is against the wounds, so you can soften it, and change out the gauze regularly?

The leather muzzle does not touch the wounds. I'm more worried about longterm use of the muzzle and becoming dirty over time, as he'll need a muzzle for life.

I'll call my friend who has horses to see what she says, Thanks Karen!
