1. Trim the hair first and clean the wound

1. Is there any foreign matter in the wound

If your dog is found to be injured, first flush the wound as quickly as possible. Observe with the naked eye to see if there is any foreign matter in the wound. If there is any foreign matter, take it out immediately and use clean water to rinse and squeeze the wound. It is best to apply some anti-inflammatory drugs to the wound and wrap it with a bandage!

Warm reminder: Squeezing the wound can release dirt and blood.

2. Wide range of injuries

If the wound is large, it is best not to use alcohol or iodine-based drugs, because this will cause irritating pain to the dog and is difficult to control. It is recommended to use some light salt water instead, which can not only disinfect and sterilize , without making the dog feel very painful.

Warm reminder: Breeders can make their own judgments. If the wound is too large and deep, and you feel that the dog cannot recover on its own, or the natural recovery speed is too slow, you should send it to a veterinary hospital for treatment as soon as possible.

2. Further treatment of the scratched wound

After the first step of cleaning the wound, it is necessary to disinfect the wound. Disinfecting the scratched wound cannot be done in this step. If you ignore it, especially if it is scratched by some rusty or dirty sharp objects, you can prepare hydrogen peroxide or iodophor, cotton swabs, etc., soak the cotton swab with hydrogen peroxide or iodophor, and wipe and disinfect the wound. If the wound It is still a medium depth, so after disinfection, you need to be ready to spray the wound. The spray range can be slightly larger than the wound, and you can also do a simple bandage. You must also observe the wound in time and treat the wound. Also remember to wear an Elizabethan collar on your dog.

3. Take it to the pet hospital for treatment

If the pet owner finds that the dog's wound has been deeply scratched and the bleeding continues to be severe and cannot be treated by himself, he needs to take him to the pet hospital for treatment in time. Treatment is enough, and a hemostatic injection may be needed. Pet owners should also pay attention to keeping all sharp objects at home, and knives, scissors, etc. must be kept out of reach of dogs.

4. Be careful not to lick the dog’s wounds

1. Saliva can be treated

Even if the dog's own saliva has a certain therapeutic effect, the oral hygiene environment is not very good because the food it eats is too complex. The saliva contains a certain amount of germs, and the injured area can easily be infected again.

2. Pay attention to circulation problems

For this reason, it is necessary to bandage the dog and take care of its injured area. Dogs have hair on their bodies, so viscose items are not suitable for use. The owner can wrap the gauze several times, then find a support point and tie it with a slip knot.

Warm reminder: Remember not to wrap the wound too tightly to prevent bleedingCirculation is adversely affected.

5. The owner checks the wound on the pet

1. The wound status changes

After the wound is bandaged, the owner still needs to pay more attention to the changes in the wound to see if there is any redness, swelling, inflammation or viscous fluid. These are all matters that the owner needs to pay attention to. Usually the neater and cleaner the wound is, the faster it will recover.

2. Prevent water penetration

In addition, waterproofing is also very important. For example, before taking a bath, the wound should be wrapped in a plastic bag to prevent moisture from penetrating. If the wound has not scarred for a long time, it is recommended to bring it to a veterinarian for diagnosis and treatment to prevent it from getting damaged due to time. Delay may worsen the condition.
