Find out the location of the dog's injury in a timely manner and check whether there are any injured bones or major blood vessels. If the injury is minor and the bite wound is very small, it is recommended to use saline to clean excess contaminants on the surface of the wound, and then dilute iodophor at a ratio of one to ten for skin and mucous membrane disinfection. During this period, the owner needs to let the dog rest at home and reduce going out. The owner can feed the dog more food that is good for wound healing.

What to do if a dog bite wound rots:

1. Shave the hair around the wound, and then clean the wound and surrounding skin with saline or distilled water. After cleaning, you can use chlorhexidine or hydrogen peroxide for repeated flushing and disinfection.

2. Remember to change new powder and gauze for your dog regularly every day. While changing, pay attention to the condition of the wound. If the wound has gradually become scabbed, it means that the wound has slowly healed. After getting better, if the dog's wound not only shows no scab, but also oozes blood or some unknown liquid flows out, then the dog owner should take the dog to the pet hospital for examination in time and treat it according to the veterinarian's instructions.
