Colin, I don't know if this will help, but you could try it. Stand the dog up, with the affected wrist in a bowl of Betadine/iodine solution for a few minutes at a time. After the wrist is dry, get some Solosite ointment, not cream, and smear it over the affected areas. Do this for a few days if you can, and see if there is any improvement. Solosite usually heals this sort of problem, and the Betadine should help, too. If he tends to lick the ointment, get some aloe vera spray,(which also helps skin), and just give the wrist a very light spray. It tastes awful and I don't think any dog will lick it a second time ! Hope this helps and good luck.

Colin a good place to start would be introducing a quality Probiotic into the Greyhound Diet I believe when problems are fixed internally - Band aid treatment is not required externally.
