Can amoxicillin be applied externally to a dog’s wound? Of course not, it is not recommended to use amoxicillin on dog wounds. Amoxicillin is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections, and wounds require a combination of topical antibiotics and other topical creams or ointments to keep the wound clean, reduce inflammation, and promote healing. Your veterinarian can advise you on the best products to use.
Amoxicillin should not be applied externally to dog wounds. Amoxicillin is an oral antibiotic drug and cannot be used for external application on wounds. If it is poured directly on the wound, it is likely to cause infection and suppuration of the wound. If the dog is found to have suffered an injury, the owner should clean and disinfect it appropriately, and then bandage the wound.
Your dog is injured and has slight bleeding. First, use a cotton ball to press it for a few minutes to stop the bleeding, and then put an Elizabethan ring on it to prevent it from licking the wound. Shave the hair of the injured area and rinse the injured area with saline or hydrogen peroxide until the pus and blood are washed away. Then you can dip some iodine into it to disinfect the wound.
Then sprinkle Petsuhe on the dog's wound to cover it, and then wrap it with gauze to isolate the wound. You can replace the gauze once in the morning and evening to help absorb exudate and keep the wound dry and hygienic.
