When the owner sees the wound of the dog after being injured, he will first check whether there is a bone crack. If there is any problem, he should first add gauze, stick, or tape to coil it and tie it, and then solve other wounds and send it to the doctor. If it is just simple trauma, the owner can help solve the problem at home independently.

Before the owner solves the dog's wound, he should first pay attention to whether the wound is blocked by the surrounding hair. If so, he should also use a shaver to help shave off the surrounding hair, and expose all the wounds before solving it. Then, the owner will use salt water to help clean the wound. When cleaning, the posture should be light; in the future, dip the cotton swabs into some hydrogen peroxide or red potion to help the dog disinfect and sterilize the wound.

Pay attention, the dog will feel unbearable pain after the whole process, and some will even bite people randomly. It is recommended that the owner put an Elizabeth necklace on the dog before solving the problem before doing this process.

You should also fix it first, don’t let the dog pop out, then point to the dog’s wound and spray some medicine powder to quickly activate blood circulation and help reduce swelling (the spraying condition should be based on covering all wounds). Then, the owner must apply cotton wool and tie the wound with gauze to prevent secondary bacterial infection of the wound. Let me remind the owner that you don’t have to tie the wound up, just take off the necklace immediately; otherwise the dog will bite open the gauze and lick and suck the wound, and the dog’s wound will not be able to heal quickly.
