Elite Veteran Posts: 889	I would treat with Vetricyn and then use SWAT as a fly deterrent. I also like silver dressing but I haven't used it when flies are bad, so not sure if it'd work for that. Do they not want it covered? You can always do gauze and vet wrap for 12 hrs then leave off 12 hrs?

Coyote Country Queen Posts: 5666	I've been told to put honey on a wound. It helps it heal and keeps the flies off because they don't like the stickiness. We've used it before and had good results.

Extreme Veteran Posts: 312 Location: KS	Bag Balm is what I have used in the past. I didn't think about the aluminum bandage for this?! We keep It on hand when we dehorn calves but think that would work well too.

	Kay-DRacing. - 2018-06-15 8:08 AM Aluminum spray bandage. Works wonders. Yep, I agree with Alu-Spray. Feed stores typically carry it.

The Vaccinator Posts: 3810 Location: Slipping down the slope of old age. Boo hoo.	Earlier in this thread I recommended coating the area with a thick layer of Vaseline several times a day and using fly spray -- why? I've had some surgery to have melanoma cancer removed - it was not nice. I was left with big horrid incisions stitched up -- and what did my doctor tell me to do to heal the nasty incision? Keep it coated in Vaseline. It healed beautifully. Every time she has had to remove a 'bad' place, she tells me to use Vaseline -- that's it. Sometimes, it's the simple things that make life beautiful.
