How many times have you heard that dogs are able to heal their wounds by licking ? Surely many, and perhaps you also believe that it is so. But what about myth and what about truth?
When the dog licks a wound, what it does is drag the dirt that may have remained inside. The veterinarian Carlos Rodríguez affirms that lately both doctors and veterinarians are trying to keep the surface of the wound moist with the products they apply, the dressings they place, etc. When the dog licks itself, it is effectively keeping that moisture in the wound, but from there it goes a world to heal it. In fact, the expert does not recommend that this is the way of healing . When the animal is injured, we will seek the advice and action of the expert, we will not leave it on "its feet."
