Marley was out romping through the scratchy, icy snow for about an hour (he loves to chase snowballs) and has little abrasions on all four legs.  Can I put neosporin on them?  If not, how should I treat them?  He keeps licking them.

Thanks ahead of time,

Thanks Jen,

I'll wait and keep an eye on them.

Thanks again for your reply,

Yes - you can put Neosporin on dogs

I use Hartz health measures Anti Itch Hydrocortisone spray with aloe

for dogs cats and horses

stops itching and  skin inflamation flea bites skin allergies and eczema

Yes you may use Neo but not to generous, Sassie's vet who does not like to give alot  of drugs to furbabies had me do that on her little boo boo's.. Also  Sulfodene has come out with a 3-Way Ointment for dogs....Helps prevent infections, aids in pain relief, and the ointment form provides germ and insect barrier...

Thanks all,

I will have to get some of the 3 way ointment.  It sounds as if it would be a good thing to keep on hand.

Thanks again,

Yukon

I've used neosporin before - hydrocortizone creams before - I think most of those OTC creams are OK to use sparingly.

Thanks for all the info.  I did pick up some of the Sulfodyne ointment for dogs and put it in the medicine chest.  The ants will be biting soon and I think that would be good for the ant bites.
