bare spot and bump on tail of puppy

[carmspack]

yeah, I thought it was scar tissue "Okay , the tail, looks like it had a bit of an injury , maybe another pup biting and holding on , or the dog had fleas and gnawed at the itch , the skin was broken and is now fixing itself , hair will regrow."

You may want to make a little "medicine cabinet" for animal use .

Betadine, collodial silver (min 10 ppm) , MSM cream , pure lanolin salve , manuka oil - manuka honey , honey ,
hydrogen peroxide, -- for cuts , bites, scrapes, burnt paws, torn nails, nothing spoils and each can be used for yourself as well.

Well, Manuka Oil or Honey is really best. You should always have it in your medicine cabinet. Honey is a natural antibiotoic. You can use it on any cut, scratch, scrape, whatever. It's takes the pain out and heals VERY fast. Also you can use a waterproof bandage and seal it all the way around because the honey runs.

Every time I come here I learn something new

Since I've never heard of any of these, where can I learn to safely apply them to my GSD, and to learn when I should apply them? It's a bit easier with humans, I'm just starting to learn about the canine system.

I would add , Zymox , Defendex, Vetrycyn - choice over hydrogen peroxide ,
