Scab on my dog?

I went to the doctor about an infection on my dogs snout. She gave an antibiotic and a skin cream. Unfortunetly its not working, the skin problem hs become deaper and more scabby. Someone told me burnt car oil or Neutrigena T-gel, would help. I was also told that skin irritations on dogs are hard to get rid of. any sujestions.

Scab on my dog?
First off, how old is your dog? We have a 7 year old lab who seems to be suffering from the same problem but we have noticed that a little neosporin has been helping him..also a lady I work with suggested that spray on aloe vera for burns?


We haven't tried that yet but she said it helped out her dogs. Hope this helps!
Reply:You should always go back to the vet to get a recheck if the dog doesn't improve on meds. Burnt car oil is a horrible idea that may be fatal.
Reply:Recently, we discovered a scab on our dog. It was bothering him. And the scratching was causing it to bleed and lose hair. We took it to the vets. His answer was that our dog was probaly bit or stung by an insect, or maybe stuck by a thorn. The solution was to use medications and a spray. Before we took him in, we found that Neosporin was working, but just wanted to be sure it wasn't too serious. Good luck! I hope your dog get's well soon.
Reply:Car oil or any other type of oil carry PCB and can affect the wound. 1 clean the sore, use a disinfecter. peroxide, clean it, use the creams prescribed as per instructions and do not remove scabs. An antibiotic might be needed see your vet again.
Reply:If it's external try Goldbond powder. My dog used to dig horribly at her ears and have scabs up the yin yang. My vet had perscribe Goldbond powder for her and it worked dramatically and it stops irrability for the dog.
