thequietman Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 I love my dog. He is definitely a cutie. Large eyes, cute as hell but...................... He has a cut on his neck and he won't leave it alone. Its has turned into a sore about 6 inches by 3 and its getting worse. Tried putting sock booties so he can't infect the wound. Gets them off every time. Tried keeping him indoors but has ruined a good door trying to get out. Now can't keep him dry in this weather. I really have no idea what to do. I bathe him once a week, clean up the cut and then put antiseptic powder and solution but he just scratches it off. It's like a revolving circle and I am losing patience with him. He won't stop scratching it and won't leave it alone. What am I to do?? Please help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eclipse Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 (edited) How about one of those bucket things on his head so that he cannot reach the infected area. Edited July 6, 2016 by Eclipse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_Dog Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Vets are not expensive in Thailand, and they could get you set up. Open sores like that need aggressive treatment in Thailand so you are right to be worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickJ Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 A good vet uses the correct tape so hard to get off. See a vet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suradit69 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 " Tried keeping him indoors but has ruined a good door trying to get out." Is he still 100% male? Might be a more cooperative patient if he's been neutered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank anyway for your response. Like everyone said, go see a vet. This is not the first dog to ever have this problem. Surely a creative vet can come up with a modified hood of some sort. If not, try another one. It sounds like the infection is not too bad, so this should not cost very much to treat, including a hood. And don't worry about him/her getting upset because of banging into things if the vet does fit one. It'll adjust to it in a day or two and settle down. Some kind of bandage is also a possibility. Anyway, take the dog to a vet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
