flamazine - have you tried flamazine on the feet and then wrapping them in a plastic bag or cling film under a normal dressing. gently shower or bathe it off daily and replace - have seen some really good results with this. You dont get dressings sticking to the burns and it stops them drying out and cracking.

there is a warning with flamazine use tho - more in cats than dogs - be careful of silver toxicity. I had never heard of this until a locum vet told me about it, and its not just if they manage to lick it off it can be absorbed

Flamazine is great stuff for burns! Honey dressings work well to maintain unitl skin is healing. Hope the little dog is okay.

We had a dog in that had walked through a smouldering bonfire - we used Flamazine cream with good results.

Not necessarily burn wounds, but we are treating 4 long term wound cases at the moment, they are responding very well to being flushed with saline each time they come in, we then dress them appropriate to the wound.

We are seeing some of them daily, rest every other day. Dont under-estimate the power of saline in wounds!

Flamazine cream is also very good in the treatment of burns

Honey is meant to be good for all wounds
