Infected wound

[Happymum12345]

I took my healthy and happy dog to the vets after being told by our dog sitter that she was very worried about the amounts she drinks.(we had her tested a while ago so we weren’t worried, but the dog sitter made me doubt everything).

Whilst there, they took my dog off for a blood test, taken from her neck. Where they shaved her is now infected & weeping,
causing great discomfort. After the blood tests and urine test all came back clear, I feel completely stupid and awful for putting my dog through all this.

She has iodine and antibiotics to help her heal, but it’s already 3 days later and she’s still
hiding under the sofa and crying. Is there anything else I should be doing to help
her?

Has she not been given any painkillers?

No-i’ll ask the vet for some. Thank you.

If it is straight iodine you are using, that hurts and you need to use Betadine, which is a modified painless form of iodine. I usually clean wounds on my dog with diluted Hibiscrub and spray them with an antiseptic for animal use (both obtainable online). If it doesn't clear up soon, see a different vet (practice) as sounds as though they cut her when shaving her - not good. When healing, dog wounds often look pink/red but wet - that is ok. It is just granulation tissue.
