After a dog is injured, the wound usually improves in about a week, but under the premise, when the dog is found to be injured, the pet owner should take timely measures to help the dog treat the wound, so that the wound can easily recover. So how to deal with the dog's wounds? Let's briefly talk about it.
1. Clean the wound and disinfect it
If the dog's wound is not very serious, the pet owner can help the dog treat the wound at home, soothe the dog, and lie down flat. In order to facilitate the treatment of the wound, it is recommended to shave off the hair on the wound, and then rinse the wound with prepared saline. If the wound is found to have hair or other foreign objects, gently pick it out with a cotton swab, and then disinfect it with hydrogen peroxide. The dog may feel sting when cleaning the wound, and the pet owner can put an Elizabeth collar on it while preventing the dog from licking the wound.
2. Spray spray to bandage the wound
After helping the dog clean the wound, you also need to take care of the dog's wound. You can spray some pet-spray on the dog's wound. When spraying, you must completely cover the wound, and then press it on the wound with a hospital degreasing cotton and bandage the wound with tape and gauze to prevent the wound from contacting more bacteria and causing inflammation and infection.
3. Pay attention to supplementing nutrition and resting
During the dog's injury, pet owners should pay attention to supplementing nutrition for the dog. Only when the physical condition improves will the dog's wounds be conducive to healing. You can prepare some light and nutritious foods, such as meat porridge, fish soup, etc., or feed some fruits and vegetables to supplement vitamins. In addition to supplementing nutrition, you also need to have a good rest. Don’t take your dog out for a walk during this period, and be careful not to let the dog run around to avoid wetting the wound.
