The dog's hind leg has a piece of skin broken
Dogs often get injured when they go out to play carelessly or fight with other dogs. If you find a piece of skin on your dog’s hind leg, pet owners should not worry. Check the extent of the dog’s injury first. If the wound is small and there is no infection, the pet owner can treat it at home. Here are a few steps to deal with dog wounds, so that pet owners can learn from them.
- Clean and disinfect the wound.
After the dog is injured, the pet owner should first appease the dog's emotions, and then put a collar or Elizabethan collar on the dog before treating the wound to prevent the dog from biting because of pain. If the wound is not infected, wipe the blood stains and stains with a clean wet towel, trim the surrounding hair properly to prevent bacterial infection, and then use a cotton swab dipped in iodophor or hydrogen peroxide for disinfection.
- Bandage the wound.
After disinfecting the wound, the pet owner can evenly sprinkle Petsuhe on the surface of the wound to promote wound healing, then compress the wound with cotton, and finally wrap it with sterile gauze to prevent infection and secondary injury. During the recovery period, pet owners should also do a good job of wound care 2 to 3 times a day.
Three, supplement nutrition.
After treating the wound, the pet owner should also pay attention to frequently check the affected area of the dog’s wound. If there is no obvious exudate, the frequency of changing gauze can be appropriately reduced, keep it clean and dry, and do not let the dog play in water or go to wet and dirty places , so as not to inflame the wound infection.
In addition, pay attention to strengthen nutritional supply, promote the growth of new granulation, and accelerate wound healing. You can feed your dog some light and nutritious food, such as millet porridge, meat porridge, chicken, beef, and some fresh fruits and vegetables, with a combination of meat and vegetables for balanced nutrition.
