yes but if you think he/she might chew on her paw after it wrap up her foot but the best thing you could do is take him/her to the vet.

Yes, most definitely! Use neosporin or bacitracin. DO NOT use PEROXIDE! I had the same problem and thats what i read in an article about dogs! it helps alot, my dogs cut is now fully healed.

yes, you definitely can.

If it's something like a cut, or looks infected or something though, be sure to clean it first with alcohol, iodine or hydrogen peroxide.

well...

it woold be okay.
but the things is, its not good if your dog licks the anti-biotic.

so my advice is to call the vet and ask them BEFORE you do ANYTHING

Yes you can. Something like neosporin or hydrogen poroxide. Take a glove/mittin/sock and put it over the paw so he won't chew it.

This is probably one of two things... it is either a Hot Spot which you can search about on the internet or if your dog has been to the park/beach latley, a fox tail (which is a pointy leaf from a certain type of plant) could have gotten under the skin. Both are very common and very treatable. I suggest you go to the vet and have him check it out.

(you may know fox tails as the little arrow type leaves that you can throw at someone and it would stick to their clothing

We used some antibiotic ointment on my cat, so it should be okay. But make sure to cover it- wrapping the paw with an athletic tape or an ace bandage is a great way to keep your dog from biting or disturbing it.
