    • Peroxide really isn't that effective in cleaning a wound and can also kill off some healthy tissue. Best thing to use is a bit of soap and water, or alcohol in a pinch. But, what did your vet say about the healing of this small cut? If it was a small cut, it should be doing well by now. Since your vet is familiar with this issue, why not ask him? You can call him and he will be able to answer your questions. Actually, he should have told you what to expect when you left his office.

    • IT DEPENDS ON YOUR DOGS IMMUNE SYSTEM KEEP PUTTING NEOSPORIN ON THE WOUND A COUPLE TIMES A DAY REMEMBER THEY RUB IT OFF ALMOST AS SOON AS U PUT IT ON..IT COULD B INFECTED THATS WHY IT WONT HEAL IF ITS NOT CLEARED UP SOON ID TAKE YOUR DOG BACK TO THE VET BY FRIDAY SINCE MOST OFFICES ARE CLOSED ON THE WEEKENDS..INFECTION DOUBLES EVERY 12 HOURS SO YOUR DOG MIGHT NEED SOME ANTIBIOTICS

    • cleaning a wound once with hydrogen peroxide is just fine, it is actually beneficial ... it is repeated application of peroxide that will lead to tissue breakdown ... but peroxide then washed rinsed and neoporin applied is just fine ... i guess how long it takes to heal would depend on the severity of the wound ... you might call your vet and mention it has been few days and it is still opening ...
