Lana has urine scald on her back legs and she has sore hocks .

the urine scald patches look clean and dry but her poor feet look sore .

vet said to leave them as long as they were clean and she was on vet bed ...but i wondered if it would be better to put on something to help them heal quicker :?:?

if so what ...and can i mail order it :?
 
Calendula cream is really good and then you can either put vaseline or sudocrem over it. Fuciderm is another one that I regularly use:D
 
I've had fab results with Flammazine.(Ss:?..too lazy to go downstairs to check:lol:) It's available from the vet.
 
I havent noticed the poos with Sudocrem. Could be that they are in discomfort from the scald and eat less, making the poos smaller?

is fuciderm prescription only ?

Yes

For sore hocks I have found Flamazine to be excellent.
In the short term a haemorrhoid cream can be helpful, it contains a local anaesthetic and is available OTC. Dont get one with hydrocortisone in though ( eg Anusol HC)

Jane said in her post its OTC (over the counter) so I guess Boots Pharmacy as it must have a human use?

No, I meant haemorrhoid cream is OTC. AFAIK Flamazine is prescription only.
However I am sure I have seen it 'off prescription' on one of the Pet Med websites...........:?
The tube I have here has 'POM' on it (Prescription Only Medicine)

AFIK it's prescription only at the vet. I asked at Boots about 18months ago and was told it was prescription only.
