Trim that area around it too as soon as you can with hair clippers, like what you use to shave. I have a real small pair just for the dogs.

Let me know what that med is if you do try it and your results and I'll update the article.

ok I will..this morning the area was dry and looked like its healing but once hes in the tub for ten minutes and I put the hibiclens and malacetic ultra on it opens up and bleeds again. I almost feel I should leave it heal when its dried up..Also, I don't have the prescription youre using.that might be the thing that helps the most. Ill let you know if I go to the vet. Thanks Jeannie

Mabel gets them frequently. I think it's not entirely bad when it opens up and drains. In fact, our vet said to express the fluid from them if possible. Mabel had a particularly bad one two weeks ago. I cleaned it with Mal-a-ket wipes. It opened up and drained twice, after which I treated it with Neosporin. It has almost disappeared. I hate them. They look so painful!

That's normal and exactly what Sally's did. When it did that I gently squeezed it and some puss came out. These take a bit of time to heal. Keep doing what you're doing. I do believe the prescription that I had as it was for lesions - it sure didn't hurt. It'll be a bit before it stays closed. He'll be just fine. Time is what's needed right now.

I tried just soaking his foot in a pot of water because hes not a fan of the tub but he wasnt having any of that! Is 2 cups of Epsom good for a few inches of water in the tub?

That may be a bit much but will do no harm. I used about a cup in a medium sized baking bowl and filled that about 2/3 full.
