Just be careful with the peroxide, it can actually prevent proper healing if used to much. Weird but true. I was doing that with Momma's back as well until I talked to the vet about it. I did notice that it worked great when I first started using it, but eventually the spot stopped healing.

Thank you for the advice! The spot was larger than a quarter, and it was just raw skin-no fur and the top layers of skin were missing; it was completely reddish, poor baby. I had already had him on a course of antibiotics, which I'm sure helped, but after reading advice from this site and another, I started using hydrogen peroxide 3-4 times a day to "disinfect" the spot, and immediately after, I would put antibiotic cream on her. The spot is now the size of a dime. It's healing from the edges in, instead of forming a complete scab. Weird, but nevertheless, it is healing, thank goodness! I really think that it might have been a spider bite instead of an allergic reaction, but we will never know. :) Wendy "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world - indeed it is the only thing that ever has!" ~~~ Margaret Meade ~~~ ____________________________________________________________________________ ________ Choose the right car based on your needs.
