jrid Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 My eight year old bitch has developed a lick granuloma. At this point it is the size of a dime. I have taken her to the vet's office and the first med tried was a mixture of DMSO and Azium. She licked it off. Although the granuloma is not really any worse, it is not getting any better. Now we are going to try some sort of cream called Facilitator. Does anyone have any experience with this stuff or know of any sure fire cures? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codypup Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 My old dog had one a long time ago on his paw. It was difficult to keep him from licking. As you know the more they lick the more it itches or becomes habit. We never had any special medicine or salves to put on it. I wrapped it in Vet Wrap so he couldn't get to it so easily. This plus just keeping an eye on him (which I could do at the time) seemed to work. If your dog bothers the bandage you could try a Bitter Apple spray on it. Good luck!

urge to herd Posted June 8, 2004 Report Share Posted June 8, 2004 There's some stuff called Wonder Dust, (used mostly for horses, get it at a farm or ranch supply store) that I swear by. It really heals the open raw wound very quickly, maybe in a couple days. Not very expensive, my vet now recommnds it to his other patients. You will need to keep him from licking the wound until it heals, though. A light wrapping of vet wrap or one of those collar thingys should work. Good luck!

juliepoudrier Posted June 9, 2004 Report Share Posted June 9, 2004 Hey Ruth, When I was growing up, we used to use Wonderdust for everything--horses, chickens, dogs, etc. Good stuff! J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urge to herd Posted June 9, 2004 Report Share Posted June 9, 2004 Julie, A buddy on another dog board recommended it for hotspots. It just does such a fantastic, quick job. I'm tempted to use it on myself next time I have a scrape to see if it works for us 2 legged mammals! Ruth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
