For years I've had very good luck with Burt's Bees Hand Salve ("a farmer's friend") for many dog 'issues'. My son would give me six cans as a Christmas gift and I was thrilled.
It's most popular use these days (proven many times over) is for the tips of the dogs' ears to prevent and heal fly bites. Ingredients listed are: sweet almond oil, olive oil, beeswax. tocopheraols, comfry, rosemary oil ,lavandin oil, flower extract and eucalyptus. I usually put a few dabs down their backs too.
One year (ten years ago) a small dog had a very deep laceration just under her eye. I necklined her to the fence, stitched her up and treated her with this hand salve. In three days she was healed. Tomorrow I will put it on a leg laceration on Tsunami. I've soaked his leg numerous times , used various topical ointments and didn't think to use the hand salve. I'm quite sure if anything topical will help, it will be this.
