What should I do if my dog’s foot is injured and bleeding? The master should do this

If the owner does not pay much attention and care to the dogs, they will be harmed, such as stepping on sharp objects, fighting with other dogs, being cut by blades, etc., resulting in foot injuries and bleeding. So what should you do if you find that your dog’s foot is injured and bleeding? Let’s take a look.

1. Stop bleeding in time

When a dog's foot bleeds due to injury, the owner should first use a sterile cloth to press the dog's wound to stop the bleeding. Otherwise, once the blood flows into a river, the dog will be in danger.

When the sterile cloth is pressed for a period of time, the dog's traumatic blood flow stops. The owner will use hydrogen peroxide and iodophor to clean and disinfect the dog's wound. If there is foreign matter, it should be opened gently to avoid shaving the dog's hair around the wound and causing inflammation.

2. At the speed of the pet

The owner cleans the dog's wound with hydrogen peroxide, disinfects it with iodophor, pours some pet on the dog's wound, and wraps the dog with gauze and bandage. Wear gloves carefully and handle the dog in a clean environment. After treating your dog's wound, wear an Elizabethan ring to avoid licking or scratching the wound, which may cause infection and deterioration of the wound.

Before the wound has healed, don’t let the dog go out for a long time, and don’t let the dog go to wet and dirty places.

3. Supplement nutrition

After a dog is injured, the owner needs to provide nutrition to the dog, so that the dog's wound can heal faster. The owner can make more nutritious food for the dog, such as pork, chicken, eggs, carrots, cabbage, etc., and then steam it for the dog to eat.

You can also make dog bone soup, millet porridge, porridge, etc., which are rich in nutrients and easy to digest. Also let your dog eat more fruits and vegetables, drink more water, and get more rest.
