doctor visit

Daisy on Health - Tue, May 08 2007

I have a doctor visit tomorrow and i'm kinda nervous. My incision from getting fixed will not heal. It has been almost 2 months. I can not stop licking it. Any suggestions?

Why do you think it isn't healing? Is it just red, or is it oozy (sorry, ick)?
Mine was red for quite some time, but that was just the way I heal.
Your owner can try Bactine on it... it has an anesthetic in it so it kind of kills the pain/itch. Tastes bad, but won't hurt you if you lick it. Another option is neosporin, but my vet always says to just let it go naturally.
Keep us updated on what your vet says after your visit.
