    My springer got a small nick on his leg a while back and I thought nothing of it but it's after developing and getting worse. It's turned into some kind of shin condition. I've been rubbing salt and water on it but to no effect. Any ideas what it is and what to do with it before I bring him to the vet tomorrow?

    He's licking it ? Get a muzzle or head collor and some iodine out of the vets dab it with iodine and stop dog from licking

    Ask the vet for some 500mg Synulox Boluses and give him 1 a day for 3 to 4 days.

    I brought him to the vet anyway and as ye said, he started licking the cut and it got infected. He has, what he called, Pyoderma. So he gave him an injection to clear up any bugs that might be in the blood and a course of antibiotics to heal the Pyoderma.
