People need to trim their nails regularly, and dogs also need them, otherwise their nails will affect their normal walking. At the same time, nail deformities may occur and pierce into the foot pad. Then, when pet owners cut their dog's nails, if they are not properly operated, they may hurt the dog and cause them to be cut and bleeding. Let me tell you how to deal with it.

1. Clean the wound. When the pet owner trims the dog's nails, he accidentally cuts it and bleeds. The pet owner should not ignore it. If it is not treated in time, the dog's wound will be easily caused by bacterial infection and inflammation. At this time, the pet owner can first cover the wound with a clean cloth. After no bleeding occurs, clean the wound with normal saline. Then use a cotton swab to dip iodine to gently wipe the wound and do a simple treatment.

2. You must also use Yunnan Baiyao

pet owners should fix the dog's body after cleaning the wound to prevent the dog from struggling. Find the location of the nail wound and quickly sprinkle Yunnan Baiyao on the dog's nail wound to cover the wound evenly. Then the pet owner should press clean cotton on the wound, wrap the wound with tape and stick it, and wrap it up with gauze. Meanwhile, pet owners can put an Elizabeth hood on the dog so that it will not destroy the bandaged wound.

3. Let the dog rest well

After the pet owner treats the dog's wound, the pet owner should let the dog rest well at home, minimize going out activities, and avoid chasing and playing when he sees other dogs, causing the gauze to fall off, or the injured part will be infected by external bacteria. You also need to regularly replace gauze and cotton for your dog to check whether there are any changes in your dog's wounds. You should also pay attention to cleaning and hygiene. The most feared thing about your dog's wounds during recovery is that they are invaded by dirty things. Once they invade, they will purgate and ulcer, which will affect the recovery of the wound.
