Steve McHardy 2 Posted October 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Lipsyl, seen how quick it heals your Lips aye cheers gaz it was the missus's vasa for her lips i tried. its just a wee chunk out of it i think i might take him to the vets but what are they going to do but bandage it up the same as ive done the fecker keeps scratching it off. would try the lampshade thing but he wouldnt be able to move round my tiny ling room without catching on every feckin thing. being a bull x he aint that bothered but the drops o blood are going all over. ive got some potasssium permanganate i got off an old terrierman im going to try tomorrow and bandage it again. have got some of the anti bac wound powder as well so il try that as well cheers for any help lads. steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cold Ethyl 63 Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Witch hazel and a steptic pencil or stick come in handy for this sort of thing as does wound powder seems to help anyway.If not have you tried paper stitches the steri strip things? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fieldsman 51 Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 ring your vet and ask for a bottle of ferric chloride it will stop bleeding instantly. just apply with kitchen towel or tissue paper. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

skycat 6,173 Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Ears will bleed for days if you don't keep the ear completely still: wrap it in cotton wool and tape it on top of the dog's head; use Elastoplast fabric strapping: sticks well to fur and go right round the dog's head: don't make it too tight under the throat: the dog needs to be comfortable to eat and drink. Leave it taped up for 3 days by which time the cotton wool will have formed part of the scab. Trim excess cotton wool away and leave the bit which is attached to the wound> it will come away once the scab comes away once healing is complete. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hannah4181 260 Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 I glue ear tears or nicks . . . . or strap up as Skycat has said, they are a bugger for keep opening. Vet wrap is my choice of bandage, again just make sure its not too tight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
