lipfold surgery

[iznalf]

my poor Izzy has had her second lipfold surgery and the pyoderma has returned yet again.  at my wits end.  despite using Hiibiscrub, it is still present. Help!!

I'm so sorry, I can't offer any useful advice but there are people on here who's cockers have had lipfold surgery and will hopefully be along shortly to help.

My Holly has had this done several months ago,
 So far So good
really feel for you, and Izzy, it hard seeing them rubbing their mouths, must be so sore.

I dunno if it will help at all .. but I wash M&J's chops with Asda's own anti bad hand soap (it's blue in a dispenser)  and that seems to keep them clean (Jennie has white chops which got pink  ) and make them smell nice

thanks all.  anything is worth a try, possibly even a different vet surgeon

I have this problem with two of my cockers too. Both have had the op and one has had it done twice and still suffers.

There is a cream you can get from your vet [they may have to order it in] It's called Flamazine and is very good. I was given this from a specialist vet, use twice a day. I've stopped using the hibiscrub and clean with eye wipes. [figured they'd be gentle] Dry the mouth with kitchen roll after every meal and drink. If you feed kibble try wetting it before feeding, I have found this has helped Paisley.

The dryer you can keep around the mouth the better.
