For relatively large wounds, disinfecting with iodine and alcohol is relatively irritating and will cause pain to the dog. You can get some light salt water (a spoonful of salt mixed with a cup of water) to rinse the wound. This is a A gentler method of disinfection.

If the dog is injured, apply medicine to the wound

After cleaning the wound, you can apply some medicine to the wound to prevent wound inflammation, or iodophor.

Put a piece of gauze on the wound, and then buy a roll of gauze (clean wide strips of cloth are also available) and wrap it around the outside of the gauze, whether it is on the body or legs, just wrap the cloth around a few times and tie a knot.

Daily care for dog injuries

If after a few days, there is still blood or body fluid oozing from the wound , there is no sign of scab formation, and you should seek medical treatment in time.
