    I can't answer about a match, I have no idea about that. But some will heal on their own and won't be visible and others won't heal back completely at all. Try Nustock or another sulfur product.

    I heard lavender oil and vitamin E is good for scars.

    Good skillful aftercare is the key. The better you get at closing wounds the less scaring will be visible once healed. I use derma bond more often than sutures. Won't leave a zipper mark like suturing will. The less invasive routes will heal cleaner than the more invasive methods. Healing is an skill set often looked over my most people with these dog's. Only way to get good at it is to do it regularly and often to sharpen your skill at it.

    Once the scars are there already, there isn't very much you can do about it. Some things may lighten the scaring but it most likely will still be seen.

    I do agree. But in my experience, the older the dogs are the less likely they are to grow back fur to cover the scar. But I have had and seen some younger dogs who grew back a good amount of the fur, if not all of it. Age is about the only thing I could say had a factor in that.

    Lol, yes crazy glue for those who don't have access to medical grade derma bond. Only difference between the 2 is one is sterile the other us not. Either will work.


    If you have black dogs forget it, spend the money on a sharpie. Lol.

    Is the Derma bond more flexible?....I always found the one problem I've had with superglue is the rigidity of it.Superglue is so stiff it sometimes comes apart and pulls off of the skin in areas that get flexed

    It's a liquid, not very thick. This is how the shit I use looks. It has a swap tip, you crush the base and it wets the wick. Also comes with a nozzle for when you need more than the wick will provide. Shit works great.

    It's not my only option though. You name it and I have access to it. You want to talk about closure possibilities? Lmao, mine are endless.... lol

    Lol that's just suture. Everything from braided to Vicryl and everything in between. ;)

    A good way to keep scars at bay is instead of using a chromic gut type suture get a hold of the suture plastic surgeons use. Very minimal scaring due to how thin the suture is but you will still see where the needle went in. It's pretty rare I use suture for anything. Derma bond and staples have worked fine for me over the years. Staples will definitely leave a zipper mark on your animals though. A very visible one. Sometimes you'll end up needing more than glue to put humpty dumpy back together.

    pig oil and sulphur works well restoring hair on wounds , much the same as nustock only a fraction of the cost , equine suppliers will stock it

    Shapley's original M T G (main tail groom for horses) heals and grows hair back like nothing else I have tried.

    It helps the healing not the hair regrowth in my experience

    If you meant antis for aftercare, yes. Growin hair back is a crap shoot you will probably lose. Even if it grows, only so much grows back, not all of it. You will still see some marks

    you can get dermabond online. not hard to find. I have been told if you remove the scab often it will not leave
    as much of a scar. it will take longer to heal but does not leave much of a scar. I think you could use poly sporin to rub scab off.
    I think it would depend on how bad the wound was & how deep. good luck.

    Picking at scabed over tissue makes scars worse not better. You're also delaying healing as well as opening the wound back up which can lead to infection.
