Cuts on a dogs nose - Page 1

Can I put hydrogen peroxide on my dogs nose for minor cuts?

Iodine would probably be better to use on it. Someone told me if you use Hydrogen Peroxide too much it eats away at the tissue eventually. I think my friend whos a pharmacist told me that, but Iodine will be fine.

Noses and muzzles seem to scar rather easily. :o/
I agree-Peroxide can be corrosive and ointments will get licked off. Iodine may burn some, but probably would work best.

I have used neosproin before..worked great.

JMO i personally would just use saline 2/3  times per day this works well on minor cuts and scrapes

also calamine in aqueous cream stays on well and is soothing

Salt based saline is very good, I also would suggest using a cream such as betadine will heal in the healing process. Do not use surgical spirit or hydrogen peroxide. These do more damage than good

Antibiotic ointment works well on noses; I'd use a dilute iodine wash to clean the area before applying ointment. Keeping the wound from becoming dry and brittle will help reduce scarring.

Hydrogen peroxide is a lightener.  I would be afraid it would discolor the nose as well....

Hydrogen peroxide can sting - don't do it! Try diluted Hibiscrub (chlorhexidine).
