I know the vet put her on antibiotic ointment, but I had really, really good luck healing a fairly nasty puncture wound on my own hand by using coconut oil.
As far as nasty, I actually punctured my hand with an old, raw beef bone that I was trying to break down a bit smaller to give to a toy poodle. Needless to say, he enjoyed his full sized, seasoned with my blood large beef bone. lol
The puncture wound healed without incident or infection in less than a week, and I was back to sawing/breaking raw bones in 10 days. (a bit more carefully, though lol) Maybe you could apply a little on her wound in between the ointment treatments.
Coconut oil has natural anti-microbial benefits. I was told that it can even stop or reduce viral reproduction if adminstered soon enough after infection.
Best wishes with your little lady! |
