If you’re a dog owner or around dogs much then you most likely know that dogs can play rough and can often hurt themselves. If your dog gets hurt, call your vet and ask for instructions on how to treat the injury. For minor cuts and scrapes, your vet may recommend that you gently clean the wound with warm or cool water. Cleaning solutions such as Vetericyn or even regular iodine or chlorhexine may also be used to clean the wound. Once the wound is clean you may then be told to pat it dry and apply a topical ointment such as Neosporin. These methods of treatment will most likely need to be done two to three times a day until the minor cut or scrape is healed. If the injury is large or deep, cover it with a bandage or cloth and stop the bleeding if necessary. Contact your vet clinic San Antonio, TX for treatment.
