Should we allow scabs to heal on their own? Hi everyone! I had posted a thread not too along ago, basically Coco had a little lump under his jaw and I had it checked out by the vet and he said it was normal and it would go away on it's own. Now the problem is Coco somehow broke the lump or he was probably playing and just popped it. Now he never bled or anythign I just realized he broke it because I noticed a scab under his jaw and realized it was a minor open wound but no blood at all I could just see some skin in the open wound. My vet was closed that day so I decided to wait. Today I see that the wound has closed and the only thing that remains is a bumpy scab...it doesn't hurt him when I touch him nor is there any sign of blood. Should I let the scab heal on it's own? Have you guys had any experience with wounds? Please let me know I appreciate all of your advice!!!
Thanks a bunch!
