Scabs on neck of Boston Terrier

Question
Hi,
  I adopted a French Bulldog approximately 1 month ago.  He is 4 years old and just wonderful.  Very docile.  I also have a Boston Terrier who is one year, 4 months old.  I have had him since a puppy.  They both get along great.  They love to play.  However, when the Frenchie plays he must be biting my Boston's neck.  I know this is how dogs play, but I have noticed that there are many scabs on my Boston's neck.  I know this is from the Frenchie nipping him.  He never cries and they just keep playing.  What can I do for this?  I am so concerned.  They really do like each other and get along so well.  I will be going to the vet in another week or so (for my Boston's yearly exam) and just wanted to know if maybe there is a cream or a salve I can put on these bumps.  Thanking you in advance.  Annette

Answer
Hello Annette - Oh, how rough pups will play!!!  Yes, I have some ideas for both your kid's health and wellness:

YOU can put some Tea Tree Oil spray on the scab areas.  NuVET sells a wonderful Tea Tree Oil Spray / It is called " hot spot spray" but it is for any kinds of scabs, pimples, rashes and scratches...
I will give you the link below for ordering : Can't be found in any stores:

Also, at night you can apply some vitamin E to the area - just pop a Vitamin E capsule and put a small amount of the gel/liquid onto the areas you were mentioning.  Do this every night for about 4-5 days.
Messy but it works good!

The two kids should be on NuVET Plus - The BEST Immune System Booster and Vitamin in the USA... Loads of Bostons and Frenchies are on NuVET Plus - sold by breeders for a lifetime of health and wellness.  Many pups go home on NuVET Plus at 6 weeks old.
It will help prevent arthritis, premature aging, skin and coat problems,....Keeps your kids healthy and away from the VET office.

Here is the link for NuVET Plus Wafers - YOU need 1 per day per kid.
YUM yum good, Call Joan and have her help you with the first order:
give her BREEDER code 81098   1-800-474-7044  EXT 265
http://www.nuvet.com/81098   ( NuVET Plus will cost you about .55 cents per day , per doggie)
This product keeps our pets healthy and around a long, long time.
guaranteed to help your dogs or YOUR money back..
Look for the Tea Tree Oil - hot spot spray / this heals the skin.


Also, I would like to see them getting some Salmon Oil each day - Just 1 teaspoon per day for each dog...Mix into the food 1 x per day.
Great for the coat and joint health...
