Question

Our dog's collar rubbed his neck raw. What can we put on it to help with healing? You can touch it without him being in pain so it doesn't seem to hurt him. Pet's info: Dog | Weimaraner | Male | neutered | 1 year old | 75 lbs

Ouch! Poor baby! I would put some Neosporin on it twice a day. I would also make sure he isn't scratching at it as this can slow healing. You can give him Benadryl if it seems itchy. If it isn't healing, I would have your vet take a look to ensure he doesn't need any oral antibiotics or other treatment. I hope this helps! https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/benadryl/
