Any vets and need help
My wife was making me a cup of noodles, and place the boiling water on the desk, Garth, my dog got under get feet and she trip and closed the desk causing the water to fall on to his back. I immediately poured room temperature water over him to cool him down. But after a few days, he is scabbing up. I have some things on the truck with me and been put them on him. They are Adams 3 way ointment for dogs and Natural Care + for hot spot and itch relief spray.
Is there any thing I can do for him? By the way, we are truck drivers and out on the road.
Thanks
Rob

Watch closely for infections... Other than that, there's really nothing that can be done this late in the game...
it'll take a few weeks for it to heal, but your dog will be just fine as long as it doesn't get infected...0 -
Thanks, we are heading home, once we get home he's going to the vet.

sorry to hear has to be a heartbreaking moment
sounds like your doing what you can to keep it clean and painless as you can
I am sure the vet will add in some more antibiotics and topical ointment to make it heal faster0 -
He might be a little noodle shy for a while. I hope he doesn?t think you or your wife did it intentionally. Sometimes you just feel helpless. Hope he heals quickly. 0 -
He's acting fine, he's even more loveable to me. But the same to the wife. I think he knows it's was a accident because this is the 1st time he has been hurt and we took care of him fast. We had him since he was 6 week old and he is going on 7 years old now.

dogs have to be a lot smarter than we give them credit for and there loyalty is amazing , r=they sense if we hurt them by accident step on a paw or tail or similar .
like they say lock your wife in the car trunk for a hour and your dog for a hour ( not together ) the dog will come out waging his tail licking you like he is your best buddy
as for the wife well most likely would not get the same loving [}:)]0 -
Go get some vitamin E liquid capsules, open them, and wipe it on the burn.
I opened a radiator cap one time and got 1st, 2nd, and 3rd degree burns on my wrist. It stopped the pain and you can barely see the scars!0 -

Vitamin E is sometimes used extensively on burns in both humans and K9s according to some literature I have read.0 -
Stop at health food store and buy some colloidal silver. And then apply it topically to the wound. Microbials cannot survive in a silver rich environment. so colloidal silver will keep it from getting infected. 0 -
As stated several times above and in addition, Vitamin "E" is good for rubbing on the skin. Softens the skin and might be good for the burned areas as they heal?
I buy the gel pills and give one drop twice a day orally as part of a treatment for "wry neck" in chickens, poke a hole with a needle in one end and squeeze out what is needed. Doing the same except externally on burns. Helps to mark the "squeeze" end with a permanent marker.[:D]
Anecdotal reports claim that vitamin E speeds wound healing and improves the cosmetic outcome of burns and other wounds. Many lay people use vitamin E on a regular basis to improve the outcome of scars and several physicians recommend topical vitamin E after skin surgery or resurfacing.

If you live in California it won't be a problem finding needles.[}:)]0 -

yes, but can I truth them is the question. it has been my experience that out of state customers just get pushed out the door with hardly any care at all. Even the doctor that I visit while on the road is the same way.

Welders Burn Jelly.
Contains Lidocaine, and anti-biotics.
Step in to one of those Truck Stop Mechanics shops, tell em' why you want/need it, I bet they give you a few packs. (Got burned at work, the packs I was given by a few Welders, were small single use type packs.)
I've used them on my Dog with good success when necessary. (In his ear canal when he developed a large blister/scab.) He seemed most appreciative.
Good luck with your dog. Sounds like you love him very much.0 -

They are "Doctors" none the less, and you are not. It's all about the dog ..... is it not?
Everyone reacts differently in certain situations, if this happened to my dog, I would set a land speed record to the nearest Veterinarian's office and trust in his years of medical training.
That's just me ......................0 -

Update: after sending great pictures, my vet said I am doing everything thing great. keeping it clean and using those cream and spray. But still made a appointment to have him check up on Thursday.
we have been to vets and doctors and that's how we are treated. So why trust them?

Our Chocolate Lab touched a red hot wood stove with his tail a few years ago. Now there is a round bald spot in the center of his tail where the hair won?t grow...[:(]
Hope your pup heals well.
