*Does anyone have a sure fire treatment for a bed sore. I have a 15 year<BR>> old fur baby that has arthritis in her right rear hip. She lays on this side<BR>> constantly and has developed a bed sore in this area. She absolutely freaks<BR>> out when we have to go to the vet. Last time she turned feral and I thought<BR>> she was going to have a heart attack she got so worked up. My vet won?t<BR>> prescribe any medication unless I bring her in?.well, that?s out of the<BR>> question. He did say wash the wound several times a day with mild soap and<BR>> water and when dry apply Neosporin to the area?.and finished it off with<BR>> ?Good Luck?. Surely my droolers out there have a solution other than ?Good<BR>> Luck?. All treatments will be appreciated.*<BR>><BR>> * *<BR>><BR>> *Susan & critters*<BR><BR>

You might try Vetericin Wound Spray. I used it on a husky's puncture wound and now you cannot tell it was ever there. I swear by this stuff. It cleans and protects wounds. They also make eye gel and ear gel. You can use it on horses, dogs, cats, etc. It is a bit expensive but well worth the price and it is cheaper than a vet visit. You an order it online or get it from a farm supply or pet supply store. Also, a memory foam or other orthopedic mattress that takes pressure off would help.<BR>
Let us know how she does!<BR>
