Have like some kind of Antibodies in their spit ?
My dog has a Hot spot on her butt and she licks it constantly.
I heard years ago that if a dog wants to lick a cut on your leg..Let him do it cause it'll heal faster.
What say You..?

Nevermind the dog breath. I do love dogs. They do want to lick a wound (yours or theirs) and never seem to get infected themselves. |

Dogs mouths are full of bacteria, not the best for healing. Change its diet for hot spots

First issue, do not let the dog constantly lick the hot spot. Take the dog to the vet and get some medicine for it. some licking can help, but constant licking will make it worse. the dog licks it to relieve the pain it feels from the spot.
About the question of antibodies in dog saliva, yes the dog's saliva does have anti-bacterial properties. There are fewer germs in a dog's mouth than in a human's. There are places where the people let dogs lick cuts and it seems to help with healing. JohnnyBandit and I had a discussion about this on the old forum and I am sure he will be along to explain it better than I and tell you the benefits of dog saliva.
I am not convinced it is wise to let a dog lick a cut. While the dog's mouth has less germs, it is different germs and I doubt the anti-bacterial properties work better than antibiotic ointment.

They lick wounds constantly.
No healing benefit to dog slobber, they lick a lot and it keeps fresh blood flowing to wound; that's how it heals quicker...

It must be 50 or 60 years ago that I read a book by Sally Carrighar called, "Sex Life of the Animals."
There was a chapter on parasites with detail on dog parasites that made a huge impression on me. I've never let a dog lick my face since and I nearly gag whenever I see someone else allowing it.
That's in addition to their licking their butts and other dogs (and creatures) feces.

A dogs mouth is like our hands.
Do you lick other people’s hands?

Just rub your leg on the inside of a dumpster for better results.

Constant licking of the ass could be impacted anal glands. My girl hound has this issue off and on. Higher fiber diet Will lead to better bowel movements forcing the glands to open. Boiled sweet potatoes have helped.

Had a friend that swore by the healing power of a dog licking a wound. Saw him do it many times. No bad results. He lived to nearly 90. Seldom went to the doctor.

Can’t see a dogs mouth being worse than a public restroom door knob.
