Clipper burn appears as red marks or lines on a dog's skin, typically in sensitive areas, such as the stomach or groin. Burning can occur for several reasons, including blades that are too hot or dull. If your dog has clipper burns, there are treatments to relieve its pain.
How do you treat a burn on a dog's Clipper?
You will want one that deadens the itch and has a nasty taste to stop the dog from licking the area. Using the spray for a day or two is usually all you need to do for it to heal. Sudocrem is also quite good, as is aloe vera jelly.
Can dogs get clipper burn?
Clipper burn or razor rash is not uncommon. It usually manifests itself with red, raw skin, with or without bumps. It may cause the dog to lick or scratch the area. This ailment is caused by clipping the dog very closely.
How long does Clipper burn last?
Razor burn symptoms may start fading within a few hours, but they could take 2 or 3 days to disappear completely.
How can I soothe my dog's skin after grooming?
They, or another groomer, should administer a medicated anti-itch bath or medicated cream to calm your dog's itchy skin. You can also do this at home, with medicated shampoo and/or a medicated anti-itch spray designed for dogs, both of which are readily available in pet supply stores and online.
