Today we look at managing serious cuts that can happen to dogs while outdoors.
Commonly, dogs can get cut while romping around outdoors, no matter whether they are working as hunters or playing with the family on a hike. Superficial cuts can be dealt with easily by cleaning the wound, applying pressure and, when the bleeding stops, bandaging the cut before transporting Rover to your veterinarian.
One of the biggest mistakes people make regarding applying pressure with a wad of sterile gauze or even a clean towel is not that they don’t apply enough pressure. It’s that they don’t apply appropriate pressure for long enough. The problem comes when they lift the gauze or towel to see if bleeding has stopped.
