My Labrador has a chronic leg wound. What ointment should I use?

Question

Hi, I have a 10 year old Labrador’s, and she had an overgranulated wound on her hind leg, which has been healing for the past 9 months.. I’ve been to many vets and they don’t know how to heal it or even how to promote epitheliasation.. iM a medical dr, so if you can explain to me what’s really the ointment to use, it could be a great help.. thank you so much. Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Female | unspayed | 9 years and 1 month old | 64 lbs

Silver sulfadiazine ointment works wonders to heal wounds. Also, you need to keep the wound covered/bandaged until it is healed. We can probably help you better if you could post some photos of the wound.
