My dog has a leg scrape. What should I do? Is Vetericyn safe to use?

Question

My black lab mix has a slight bump/scrape on his leg. What do you think I should do? Will Vetericyn help? He's eating normal and seems to be well, 2 years old. I don't know how long it's been there... just noticed it tonight. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | neutered | 80 lbs

Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. I am not too concerned with how this area looks on photos. It appears to be a superficial wound. If you have the vetericyn it can be used topically on something like this safely. If the wound worsens or does not resolve, I would recommend having a veterinarian take a look at this for further treatment recommendations. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. I am also available via consultation if needed.
