Small cut just under a half-inch appeared under the dog's eye. Can I put some Neosporin on it to promote healing or is that a bad idea?

Thanks.

Neosporin is a super triple antibiotic.. will heal a pad injury overnight..

Neosporin is greet stuff, with a small cut near the eye, please watch the eye for any inflamation as this would show that the eye was injured too. My own dog has an inflamed third eye lid that started friday evening, not getting any better or worse with eye meds. Probably will have to tranq. and examine monday. Have a great day.

Always,

cee

You can also try EMT gel or spray.  Just watch so you don't get any of the meds in the eye.  I have heard of some allergic reactions to the neosporin and a dermatoligist I know won't use it.  its her opinion, I love the stuff!

It's worked fine on our girl...they also sell a Neosporin with a mild anesthetic to ease the pain, and I don't think that is harmful either. nbspBacitracin works just like Neosporin too.

I've been told that you can develop a slight reaction to the Neosporin because it has 3 antibiotics and that Polysporin is a better choice.  Either is good as long as the skin doesn't react to the Neosporin.  When it reacts it doesn't heal as quickly.  Just watch for irratation and switch to Polysporin if necessary.
