If your dog has a skin wound, it is advisable to seek advice from a veterinary surgeon, as there may be an underlying cause, a deep wound may need stitches, or systemic treatment may be necessary.
For very minor sores they should be bathed with salt water, or an approved antiseptic (e.g. '1 in 10' diluted hibiscrub). If only on the surface of the skin, it is ok to apply a small amount of sterile vaseline or sudocrem, as long as the dog does not lick it. These products are not licenced for dogs however, so monitor for any reaction and contact a vet if there is any problem, or no improvement.
