Called something like Neosporin plus. Where are the healing incisions? Torso, leg, hip...? You could take a long sleave shirt of some sort and make a sweater out of it. Sometimes the slight pressure from the fabric will help ease the itching. It should ease with time. -Sharon |

It's also available in generic form as well. Also, try gently soaking and wiping away any crusty or oozy stuff from the incision with warm, clean water. Do this a couple of times a day then pat dry and apply the Neosporin Plus. Keeping the crusts cleared away will speed healing and reduce the itch and the pulling sensation from the healing incision. Every dog I've ever had to care for post-op has obviously enjoyed the cleaning procedure (closed eyes, ecstatic groans, etc), and seemed to get some relief from it. Kathleen |
