Miracle Careby Miraclecorp/Gimborn R-7 Wound Care Spray for Dogs, 4-Ounce

I've received two bottles of this very good antiseptic spray. One was an original purchase, and the other is the replacement for the first. Unfortunately, both of them have the expiration date of 08/2019. Today is 08/18/2019. I had hoped that the replacement bottle would have been from a different lot, with a later expiration date. Unfortunately, my hope was to have this product in my first-aid kit for my pets. It's not difficult to understand my frustration. Aside from the expiration being the same month as when purchased, as I mentioned, this is a very good antiseptic spray. It has been my 'go to' for years. I hope that AMAZON SERVICES, INC. is reading both, reviews and explanations for returns, and updates their stock. Great product... simply expired.

My cat had a large scab that was taking ages to heal, he eventually scratched the scab off and was left with a nasty wound that he kept scratching, and it kept bleeding, and my dog kept licking it. So I tried the liquid bandage spray, I managed to get one good spray on first time, it didnt seem to bother him, it seemed to dry just fine and completely withstood his vigorous scratching and the dogs licking. It healed super fast, I think it has a substance to aid healing and this really seemed to work. The wound was on his back and so hard for him to lick himself, so I can't say how effective this would be if he could have got to it more easily, but it really did work.

I live way out in the country. Being in the country, my dogs come in with small cuts all of the time. Some of the dogs have low immune systems and everything becomes infected. With this product, I can clean the small wound, put this on, let it dry and the wound is semi-sealed. I say semi because you will need to reapply about every 36 hours or so. Which actually works out well because it gives you a chance to take another look and insure that it is staying clean. Just a cloth with warm soap and water works just fine. Let the wound dry, then apply. Keep the animal kind of quiet for about 5 mins so it has a chance to set properly. None of these dogs have licked it off. I have used it on wounds up to the size of a quarter that were not deep, just a tear in the skin. A stitch would have been nice, but I had been traveling when it happened and it was too late for stitches when I returned.The only issue I had was that the instructions say to "Spray" but the bottle comes with a pour spout. It still worked just fine. Squeeze it directly on the wound. I gave a bottle to a neighbor that has a dog with immune problems. This has really helped cut down on the infections and trips to the vet for antibiotics.

For most dermal injuries (scratches/shallow cuts) you're better off not dressing the wound. I first tried to dress a rose thorn cut on my Labrador's paw with bandages dabbed with neomycin (Neosporin) but it quickly started to rot due to the moisture and lack of air flow. I did some reading and found a lot of human physicians urge not to overuse antibiotics and to just rinse off wounds since the body's antibodies are usually enough---this depends on the depth of the injury please consult your doctor!I bought this liquid bandage because my dog would also try to get at his dressing. Not even a E-Collar helped since he'd just try to scrape it off some other way. And dogs can be wonderfully flexible, so I decided a liquid bandage to cover the wound, which wouldn't even matter if he licked it or not. But looking back, all I had to do was put the E-Collar on him and let the wound heal itself. He didn't really try to lick it when there was no bandage around it, and just keeping his wound clean was enough.This stuff is safe for dogs though so if you must cover the wound with something, I suppose this is still better than covering the wound with bandages that block off air flow and traps moisture. Good luck!

A little messy to apply. Lots of oversprayTakes a while to dry - probably 3-5 minutes before the shine was gone. Otherwise it will wipe offI bought this specifically for my child with autism. He started chewing on his fingertips a lot when he got his first loose tooth. I actually bought a liquid bandaid marketed to humans but it took weeks to arrive. After the first week I ordered Miracle Care and had it shipped with prime. I did try it on myself first and we use it specifically before we use the kiddie pool. I don't think it stays on very long otherwise.It doesn't stop active bleeding, which I didn't expect. But, it does add a layer of protection for open wounds or the super delicate fine skin. Unfortunately we have 2 more loose teeth to deal with and this can help deter him from chewing on his hands. It did stay on in our kiddie pool but after an hour of play it seemed to come off pretty much. It does not sting though, so if you have been using the nail polish style stuff this is a good alternative that does not sting.

If you read the directions, it is pretty clear what to do. I can see where people just spray and go. They will be disappointed.The spray goes on wet and can run. You need to blot the area around where you apply for this. The coating is super thin so you want to spray more to make it stay. My dog will get the spray off in a couple moments after it is dry. Using a liquid bandage product for people works better.

I purchased this product for our 4 year old rescue Goldendoodle who suffered from urinary incontinence. In spite of surgery and medications for the incontinence and infections that were indicated by what appeared to be blood in her urine, her condition really never improved. As a last resort and as an effort to improve her quality of life, I started a nightly regiment that included using this product in a spray to clean the ureata area, then using a pad in a doggy diaper to keep the area clean over night. After 4 years of medications, vet visits and frustration she has been infection and incontinent free. Of course this is my experience and a change such as this one should be monitored by a veterinarian but we will be keeping this product on hand for any other issue that needs infection protection.

After spraying my dog licked his wound straight away. I sprayed it on my arm just to see; it stung a little and did NOT dry into a soothing, breathable protecting coat! It's not expensive but don't waste your money!

I bought this for a puncture wound. There was nothing in the product description to say that it couldn't be used for that.....but when it arrived it stated quite clearly on the label "not to be used on deep or puncture wounds". I did get a refund. Don't know if it's any use for other wounds as didn't ever get to use it as it was unsuitable.

Didn`t really work for me. I tried it for several days but each time my dog was continually licking his sore foot within minutes of application

Malley the man cat had fleas and was biting hinself silly till he had a big sore with fur missing. Got rid of fleas and his sore has healed. Malley rates it.

This product has been very useful in the latter stages of lick wounds on my dog will use again as the sore has now completely healed ..
