Jana What kind of a burn (I believe you mentioned in another post). How long since? How large? I can’t see a callus forming from that? Rather a scab or lesion …? To promote healing, likely raw Manuka honey (worked wonders on JD’s post op wound after tumor removal), or Prep H. To promote elasticity, coconut oil perhaps.
What kind of burns? How long since the burns? How large is the wound?
Hello Sonia.
That depends on what caused the burn, the extent of immediate and long-term tissue damage, and secondary infections, bacteremia and septicemia; not to mention patient comfort, emotional wellbeing and pain management. The best advice is to seek veterinary medical attention for immediate and long-term care.
