That is better than previously. Just wondering how does a dog's skin heal with all this hair? A tummy is rather sparse but a face has lots.  |
For a non-healing wound, the hair should have been trimmed or shaved a bit (1/2 - 1 inch all around the wound) to help in keeping the wound clean. If this has been open for a while, the wound edges may have to be surgically refreshed for healing to complete.
