bhs91 Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Just got back from 2 days of hunting ditches in Iowa. My Lab's 2 front legs, on the inside part, are rub raw (about the size of a quarter), right down to the skin. What is the best way to help heal this and is there anyway to prevent it in the future.Thanks,BHS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natalie Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Try a hydrocortisone spray for dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDOGG Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 This happens to my weim all the time. I've used neosporin sp? And udder balm. The best way to prevent it I have found is to by a cheap tight fitting shirt. I used a cheap knockoff of under armor warm gear. I slip that on my dog under a neoprene vest or by itself if it is really warm! Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 DA GILLS Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Honestly, I would say the best way to prevent this is run your dog more in the off season. Not saying I do this very well either, but it is probably the best way to prevent it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emnature16 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I just got back from pheasant hunting in some thick cattails, and my dogs eyes are so red, bald and swollen she can hardly open them. is time the only cure for this or is there something i can do to help her now, or better yet, prevent it?

gonefishin11 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Flush with sterile saline when you get home from the days hunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyLabs Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 If anyone has a way to prevent this, I'm sure there a lot of dogs that would appreciate it. My older dog has these issues after hunting. We also wash his eyes with saline and rub some antibiotic cream on the outside of his eyes where he is rubbed pretty raw. Poor dog looks pretty homely for the week following the hunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rundrave Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I think 2dagills said it best, get your dog out more in the off season is probably the best way to prevent it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
