My dog has an inflammed area on her front paw and she wont stop biting it. Would anti-biotic ointment help?
Can I even put in on my dog, would it hurt her?

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. [ AverageTeen's advice column | Ask AverageTeen A Question ]

ImFakingHotPink answered Saturday July 28 2007, 7:19 pm: 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
Helpful answered Saturday July 28 2007, 6:35 pm: 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. [ Helpful's advice column | Ask Helpful A Question ]
