My dog has razor burn and vets are closed. How can I treat him?

Question

My dog has severe razor burns and there isn't any vet clinics open at this time. I need help in treating him

This presentation could be due to a localized trauma or localized spot of skin infection (likely to be caused by bacteria). A check up, appropriate disinfection and eventually antibiotics (oral, topical or in a shampoo formulation) are needed to solve the problem. Disinfection can eventually be started at home with very diluted hibiscrub or betadine or salted water baths.Oxide zinc cream (sudocream) can be applied when the skin is completely dry. Buster collar may be useful as well to avoid any licking/scratching. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
