Sudocrem and Sore Hocks

We noticed Rosie had sore hocks over the weekend (little pink patches where her fur had rubbed off and her skin was getting rubbed, awww). I remembered some advice from here or possibly another forum which was to use Sudocrem, which is for nappy rash!!

The reason I'm posting here is tell people that it worked really well! We saw a difference in 24 hours with her sore bits scabbing over and in a couple of days she was back to normal.
 
Thats good to know! I was just looking at some homeopathic healing cream on a website, good to know that sudo works too!!
 
Any chemist or supermarket, under the baby section. It's great for tattos too. :D
 
Daft question i know but do you put anything over the sudacrem so the buns cant get to it or just rub ir in and leave it?

Ive noticed Elvis has started to get sore hocks
 
Awww Brill Nix - thanks for this - Zac had a slight problem with this some time ago and I used some Tea Tree Cream, I'd also got some Fuchiderm Vet Cream which is brill to but its always bostin to have some extra options - especially as the result seemed to be so quick for you.

Cheers Gal.
 
I just rubbed it in and didn't cover it. I'm not sure I'd like to do this over a long time as Sudocrem's full of chemicals , although I don't know how well they are able to clean their back "elbows". :?
