My dog has a painful leg graze from the groomer. What helps?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

I have a 4 year old cavachon and he was recently at the groomers and it seems as though he has a graze on the inner of his leg it looks really sore and it is quite red and looked a bit wet , I was wondering what we could use to help because he was whimpering earlier as though he was in pain and looks quite sad.

Ouch! That area does look a bit sore and very irritated. I would keep your pup from licking at it which can cause more pain and irritation, and use a clean washcloth to keep the area clean and dry which can help it heal. If he seems in a lot of pain, bringing him to your vet is best so they can provide pain medications or antibiotics as needed if the area appears infected.
