This has probably been done before but,what do you people find the best treatment for rat bites on a terrier?

[stanley 5]

just a good scrub with salt water usually works mate they dont usually go bad if cleaned asap.

agreed...hot salt water dabbed on with some tissue works fine....they heal pretty fast,my pups 1st bite was a big gash and healed within 5 days to a nice crust.

i give mine agood rinse out with salt water, then apply tcp diluted with water, equal parts, just to be on the safe side.

Salt water (I use sea water,but I live close to the coast,find it keeps their feet in good condition too) then a good soaking of dettol or tcp

i use warm salty water to wash out wounds then rinse out warm water again then dilute some savlon use this to dab on wounds then rinse again and let them heal does ok for me and my lot always take some savlon diluted and a bottle of water with me when out as at end of day you can treat on site and use savlon to wash ya hands afterwards as you can never be to carefull when dealing with cuts and wounds around longtails atb willum.
