Pretty much the same thing. Often referred to as Udder Cream, udder balm, or half dozen other brand names.

I never heard of bag balm so I did a search and I think I'm going to get some. It looks like you can get it on Amazon.
I’ve used it for years on hunting dogs, I am not sure it worked but they healed some pretty nasty stuff. (I had a pointing lab that was an awesome hunting dog and companion run into the hedge trimmer and almost cut his ear off…iodine, bagbalm, gauze and duck duck tape…at first dressing check after bleeding stopped a good wash and then the second skin). I’ve also have used ‘second skin’ which is a like a super glue for skin. Trust your vet IMO. Does the 4 legged have to wear the cone of shame? I hope recovering.

They gave us a cone for him but I haven't put it on him he doesn't bother with that area I'm not sure he could reach them even if he wanted to.

I went over and got a ziplock bag full I'm hoping it helps. I never even gave udder cream a thought I hope it speeds up the healing process.

My lab was like a garbage disposal…he thought bagbalm was jelly that came off my sandwich…not sure it hurt anything though. He was just as flatulent when bagbalm was in his diet as when it wasn’t. Any reason the vet did not cauterize the incision?

I think they just wanted to get us out of there the Vet that did the surgery and removed the stitches earlier in the day wasn't even there they had us come in at 7pm which is when they close for the day I guess because there wasn't any open appointments for the day and the Vet that did the staples didn't spend much time with us. They did charge me for the staples and new meds. I think the original Dr. just removed the stitches to early I bet if he would have said hey these aren't ready to come out come back next week none of this would have been needed.

Don’t recall brand, but we had a version of Bag Balm in the barns for years.

At 20-25 years of age, I remember someone saying they used Bag Balm for their own hands…I was a little surprised…good stuff…😳🐄 🐄🐄

Hopefully you get your boy on the straight and narrow soon….gosh I hate it when a pet has health issues….

The Bag Balm skin moisturizer is a thicker product than most of the others. It has the consistency of vaseline and stays in place. The can doesn't list any ingredients, only says "proven ingredients to help moisturize and renew. Enriched with lanolin to soothe and soften skin..." It works!

The udder balms are a thinner product that list aloe vera gel, lanolin, glycerin, vitamins E, A and D plus other ingredients that aid in soothing and softening chapped and irritated skin.

If your hands get dried and cracked in winter from the dryness these products will prevent that.

Well my boy won't let his staples alone so I had to put the cone of shame on him today he was ok for the 1st few days now I guess they are bothering him because he was licking that area and wouldn't stop. I hate to see him with the cone but I can't let him fool with those staples. :(

Ed - hoping he gets on the straight and narrow….

Cones of shame are tough. Ollie the Boxer was in one for a while.

Those soft cones posted earlier in this thread looked pretty cool.

Not sure the dog would like it any better, but might make us feel better….😉

Good luck with the cone…I swear with my dogs they looked embarrassed like to wear it. It was same look a kid has if they were forced to wear an ugly sweater a relative bought them. I always felt bad when they had to use the doggie door with those damn cones on. That being said 2 of mine have managed their way out of the cones…good thing GSDs don’t have thumbs.

There is a product called bitter orange cream for dogs. Then don't like the taste of it and often leave it alone. Another is Yuck, no chew spray. For hot spots, bandages, sores. These might work and not need the collar for him.

Geez he looks so uncomfortable…..let’s hope for a quick re-recovery….😉

Had a similar issue with Ollie years ago. Once he got isolated from injury he was fine, but it took some time to get there…..he ultimately recovered fine.

Well I sold my ATV and bought a side by side so Digger also known as Willy can ride up front with us. I really wasn't sure how it would go but he actually fell asleep once during our ride. I guess we really are boring old folks. :unsure:
