Hi there, I bought a puppy at a show who already had a scar, apparently from a bit of a scuffle with its littermates. The breeder told me that the hair would grow back, but after more than a month there's no change. I'd love some advice and tips on how to help the hair grow back, thanks very much!

    If he’s had a nasty injury, it might unfortunately never grow back. Have you seen a vet since you got him? That would have been a good idea.

    Normally it does, or maybe it just depends on the dog... anyway, Orion was badly bitten by the neighbours' dog (nerves and an artery were hit) and the fur the vet shaved to stitch him up has grown back perfectly well!

    Yes, I’ve seen a vet. I’ve got to go back for a follow-up later to be sure it’s not an illness, but he thinks it’s definitely a bite. In the meantime, I was wondering if there’s anything I can do to help?
