I want to share one of the items in my dog first aid kit with you.
Vetericyn is great for cleaning wounds, and it is safe to use on all species of animals. Cleaning a wound is one of the first things humans do to help prevent infection from setting in. A clean wound usually heals faster, and better, than a dirty one. A month ago, I had a little stye on my eyelid that I scratched open. Mom cleaned it with Vetericyn, and phoned the vet's office to see if they had time available to check my eye. When we saw the vet a few minutes later, Mom told them she had cleaned my ruptured stye with Vetericyn. The vet said that was fine, and cauterized my stye. I was also given a prescription eye gel to use 3 times a day for a week. I am happy to say that my ruptured stye healed without infection. The fur has already grown back.

Did I mention that I had to sleep in a cone so I wouldn't scratch open where it had been cauterized? |
Baron had a little allergic conjunctivitis in his eyes just before I ruptured my eye stye. He was on prescription eye drops to clear up the conjunctivitis. I loaned Baron the Vetericyn eye wash to help clean the gunk off the fur around his eyes. It worked great. He goes to the same vet that I do. Since his eye infection was before I had my stye, he brought the bottle to the vet to ask about it. They said that they know Vetericyn, it is what they use to clean ears. (Mom actually used the ear one on my stye because Baron still had the eye one.) I feel really good knowing that Vetericyn is a product used in my vet's office. I know what Mom will be using to clean my ears with from now on. BOL! Vetericyn also comes in a spray bottle for skin wounds like hot spots. I don't get hot spots, so I haven't tried
it on one. Baron hasn't had a hot spot since I received the Vetericyn,
so I couldn't use it on him either. I am glad that I have it in my first aid kit, just in case something happens. Obviously, I hope nothing happens because I don't want to get hurt.
I did say that I would share this wonderful first aid product, so.........Giveaway time!

We used the Wound and Skin Care on a hot spot that Bruce developed on his flank. It cleared it right up!
ReplyDeleteI could definitely use this, particularly the wound and skin care formula as Sookie gets quite a few cuts and scrapes on her hairless body. :)
ReplyDeleteWe have a furst aid kit, and this would be a welcome addition! Our vet gives us a little bottle of panalog fur our ears. Mommy calls it Magic Juice, because it also clears up all kinds of skin eruptions and boo-boos! Vetericyn sounds like it works the same way!
ReplyDeleteWe don't have a first aid kit, and really should have one! -MP
ReplyDeleteThis would be very good to have on hand Pepper!!
ReplyDeletePepper what an excellent blog and I really felt sorry for you having to sleep in that cone.I hope I can win.
ReplyDeleteI am embarrassed to say that I don't have a pet first aid kit (but OMG I need to!) Cody is the one who gets hot spots quite often, in fact, he is on prednisonol right now! Thanks for this great review/give-away!
ReplyDeleteOh, I have some of this! It's FABulous stuffs! Ma gots the spray for some irritation I had from some nasty flea bites and it worked great!
ReplyDeleteKisses,
Ruby ♥
We do have a pet first aid kit but it's not complete yet. We had to treat some hot spots this summer for the first time and Huffle could not resist chewing on them :(
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to believe that Vetericyn works like a Miracle... BUT IT DOES!!! That clear little liquid packs a HUGE PUNCH! I can't believe the number of products that Vetericyn replaces! and with GRRReat Success! Thank you for Spreading the Word and Providing us all with this Chance at Winning! :D
ReplyDeleteWe don't have a first aid kit for our dogs. Various products, but maybe a few things missing. I have tried Vetericyn..the spray I think?
ReplyDeleteYes, I have a first aid kit, but no about the hot spots. (Knock on wood!)
ReplyDeleteOh Yes! Because I volunteer in animal rescue, and I specialize in ferals, which a vet has to put under before they can even touch them, I have everything from I.V. bags, to both viral and infectious antibiotics on hand at all times. I even keep a Brinks fireproof box stocked with essential antibiotics because I live in earthquake country. So one day I will likely have to fish that box out of the rubble that was once my house.
