Care for shaved areas?

    Care for shaved areas?

    I thought there was a post that had some care advice for shaved areas after surgery, but can't seem to find it now.

    What should I do, if anything, for a shaved shoulder and leg?

    Did one of your pups have surgery or an injury?  For some reason I was thinking Aloe was what Callie always recommended, but I'm not 100% sure.  Sorry, I guess I'm not much help but I'm sure someone will know.

    Thanks Cathy, I was thinking aloe too, but couldn't remember for sure.

    My SO found this guy, now known as Wylie, last week. He had a broken elbow, so he had surgery and got a pin put in it Monday.

    Oh Wylie looks like such a sweetie.  What angels you guys are to take care of him and get his surgery done.  I hope he heals well.  Are you going to keep him?

    I'm sorry, I know this is stupid, but for the life of me I can't think of what SO means!  I know all the other abbreviations but not this one.  Help!

    He'll either stay with us or go a couple of miles away to my mom's. She lost 3 of her elderly dogs in the past 6 months [:(] She really wants him and has quite a bit more room than we do. He's with us for at least 8 weeks though, then when he's healed we'll take him and see how he gets around on her ceramic tile floors.

    Well, it sounds like it'll work out well either way.  I'm sure you'll be totally attached to him after 8 weeks, but at least he won't be far away.  It's nice that your mom will get to know him by visiting and certainly will be anxious to have him permanently in her home.  What a great deal all the way around [:D].

    I used aloe vera gel on KayCee's skin following her knee surgeries and it was wonderful on her skin.

    I have used Aloe Vera gel after all 3 of Chyna's leg surgeries.  It worked pretty well.
