She has a few problems, dry eye and an undiagnosed dietary intolerance for which she is fed Wafcol fish and corn. But the reason I am emailing is because of her lips. She is not a particularly jowly dog, but she does get constant soreness in her lower lips folds. This has been going on for about two years I have been back and forward to the vets, with no real conclusion.
They give her Synulox which helps while she is on them, but once they stop the soreness starts again. I clean her lips everyday with Hibiscrub and apply Fuciderm and keep the hair around her lips trimmed short.
It is difficult to do as she finds her lips so tender. To see her delicately scratching her lips is really sad as Peg does most everything full on but her sore lips do bother her so much.
The vets only real answer is a lip tuck, something I don't want to do as apart from anything else I cant afford it.
They are very dirty and scabby each time I clean them and when they are infected you can see the raw skin and even puss, we then get down the vets for more Synulox. but how often can you keep going for antibiotics. I would be grateful for any suggestions please to Peggy's sore lips.
Thanks so much
Tracey and Peggy
