I just noticed that one of my dogs,Sydney, has a small wound right behind her nose. Nothing serious at all, looks like a half a dime sized area of skin missing. She might have had a small tiff with one of the other dogs, no puncture wound or anything, just missing skin/fur. Anyways what can I use to clean it, I dont want it getting worse. Its really minor but I'd still like to clean it so it doesnt get infected.

Hydrogen peroxide ok?would it hurt her?

is it an open wound? if it is just a scratch, I would leave it alone.
It will heal by its self. I don't know what you should use, I know more about dogs than I do cats, actually. I guess it's just because I have had dogs all my life and still do! 4 mutts to be exact.

I have only had Miagi a few years and Tiger going on 2 years.. and it seems like I'd have had them forever! anyways.. if it is a open wound and not like a scratch, I would call your vet and ask them what you could use.. I am not sure if hydrogen peroxide would be dangerous or not. what breed(s) are your dogs? Just curious.
I hope it heals up quickly!

Its not an open wound, more of a scratch.I'll just leave it be then, thank you!

I have 5 dogs, a lab, a border collie mix,a boxer/pit mix,a labradoodle and a golden/lab mix. They all sleep in a dog pile on the couch together, its so cute.I love them!

EEK!!!! What a gorgeous bunch of lovin' babies you have! Oh I LOVE them!! I just gotta have that many dogs one day - in Australia you can only have two maximum in most areas.

I have two Labradoodles and my guy Chester looks just like yours. Aren't they the MOST wonderful, beautiful dog in the world? I've never come across another dog like a Labradoodle for personality, and I'm a trainer so I see a LOT of doggies!!

Your dogs are SO beautiful I love, love, LOVE them!


I couldn't resist either - here's a pic of my Chester-Man at 7 months old. Cuteness alert!!
