If your dog loves to spend time outdoors then she’s most likely come back inside with a few cuts and scrapes every now and again. If your dog has a deep cut or wound always call your veterinarian right away. For minor cuts or scrapes; however, you can most likely treat your canine pal at home with a simple first aid kit or a few quick instructions from your vet over the phone. For treatable cuts you should first stop any bleeding by covering the cut with a bandage. Once the bleeding stops, wash the wound with a warm cloth, soap and water or a pet wound cleanser like Vetericyn. You may also need to apply a topical anti-bacterial ointment like Neosporin one or two times a day until the wound is healed. Even though it’s not deep or large, make sure you consult with your pet clinic Cornelius, NC.
