My dog recently had surgery for a large mammary tumor and there was not enough skin left to staple or stitch together. She is not running a temperature and the vet doesn't think there is an infection but the skin is getting more red each day, still ozzing and smelling, and is not granulating and healing as it should be. My vet is not giving me much as alternatives other than wait and see or euthanize her. She appears otherwise normal, seems to have plenty of energy, has starting eating better since surgery and wants to walk a lot more than the vet says she should. My question is "What else can I do to promote the healing process?" Is there a topical treatment, vitamin treatment, or certain foods, or anything else that will promote healing. I know with human burn victims, there are even sheets of skin grown in large petrie dishes. There must be SOMETHING other than the bandage and "wait and see" approach. We are basically being told that the skin needs to heal quickly or we need to euthanize her.
