Accidents happen, and knowing how to care for your petโs wound can make all the difference! Hereโs what to do:
๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ง๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ฒ:
- Minor wounds (small cuts or scrapes): Clean and monitor at home.
- Serious wounds (deep cuts, heavy bleeding, or punctures): Seek immediate veterinary care.
- Watch for signs of infection: redness, swelling, heat, discharge, or odor.
๐๐ญ๐จ๐ฉ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ฅ๐๐๐๐ข๐ง๐ :
- Minor bleeding: Apply gentle pressure with a clean cloth or gauze for 5-10 minutes.
- Severe bleeding: Apply firm pressure and elevate the limb. Head to the vet if it doesnโt stop.
๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐:
- Use a saline solution to gently clean the area. Avoid alcohol or hydrogen peroxide as they can delay healing.
- Remove any dirt or debris carefully.
๐๐ซ๐๐ฏ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐๐ข๐๐ค๐ข๐ง๐ :
- Pets licking or chewing their wounds can delay healing and cause infection. Use a cone or protective device.
๐๐จ๐ง๐ข๐ญ๐จ๐ซ ๐๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ฒ:
