I was wondering if anyone knows if I can use sudocrem on the side of my dogs mouth he has a allergy that is starting to clear up but not gone completely, is it safe to use.

 

[lurcherman]

I would say yes but try not to let him lick , rub it in as much as you can, it not take long to soak in.

Sudocreme's main ingredient is zinc and zinc is toxic to dogs. I would only use Sudocreme where it couldn't be licked.

How much would they have to consume for it to be toxic?? Mines had it on his feet and a cut here n there in his life, I know he's licked at times,, but like I said rub it in. You said side of mouth! I was banking on outside of mouth not inside by the way.

I'm not sure Lurcherman, also it might be ok for a mastiff but not for a teacup yorkie. And once might be ok but every day for a week might not. I'm just a bit overcautious online.

I should have said, if i dont have Hibiscrub (my preferred choice) I dab minor wounds with TOP because you can gargle with that.

My vet prescribes Dermisol for wound healing. I think you can get it on line.

Hibicrub and tcp is top stuff, I had a little cheaper stuff than hibi and it was also magic stuff,, seen it on Paul o Grady battersea show so they use it hehehe.

Off topic I know, but I love that show! Makes me laugh, sometimes gives me a lump in my throat. Sorry, back on topic now.

Hi Lurcherman, what was the cheaper stuff and where can you get it please - always looking for an opportunity to save money now i have two dogs!

Can't remember the name but I got it from vet medic .com bout 4years ago, it smelt the same , same colour and did the job, if I can find the old catalogue then I will let you know the name so check back in a week or so ok.

Spanielmad, the name of that scrub is called vetasept, £5.99, if you go onto vet medic website you will see it, don't know if still the same but it was postage free.
