SeeGee Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Hi everyone, Mia and Charlie often play rough, and this time, Mia has lost a small patch of hair near her eye. It doesnt actually touch where the eye is at all, and its like its been waxed, there is no cut per say, just a patch of skin with no hair, it didnt bleed, just went red. As it didnt bleed, I just made sure it was clean and left it. Its about this ___ long and this -- wide. A girl at work has told me that all dogs get cysts where they get a cut and that I should have put silver spray (?) on it. I dont have silver spray though i have heard of it (if its the stuff im thinking of). Charlie has never gotten a cyst when he has had a cut before?! Have I missed something?? I didnt think this was the case. Id love it if anyone would set me straight - thoughts/opinions. Thanks Jacqui Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staranais Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 It doesn't sound like a cyst, just like a scrape? If it's just a tiny scrape from being bitten & the dog isn't bothered by it, I wouldn't put anything on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeeGee Posted November 28, 2010 Author Share Posted November 28, 2010 thanks stormie, i didnt think so I know Charlie has never gotten a cyst where he has been cut before, and this is Mia's first injury. I was a little confuzzled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixie_meg Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 she's probably talking about colloidal silver. i use it on bad wounds on my dog to prevent infection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noisymina Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 nah ive left it. the girl at work was saying that it would develop into a cyst ?? I thought that was a little odd. Me too. I know lots of cysts that have developed without any cut or injury tho. Mind you, we did have a cat get a huge infected cyst after an encounter with another cat. But that is a bit different.

SeeGee Posted November 28, 2010 Author Share Posted November 28, 2010 cool....As long as i wasnt missng anything. this girl has a family member who is a breeder so perhaps is more pedantic about a small cut, to ensure her pups are sold knowing she has done everything she can to prevent anything? I dont know. but thanks everyone, Im not going mad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormie Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 She may have been thinking of an abscess, but again, not something that happens with every wound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
