It is not okay for a dog to lick its own wounds. If the dog licks the wound on the dog, it will cause inflammation and infection, and the wound will become more and more serious. Because there are so many anaerobic bacteria in the dog's mouth, if you keep licking the wound, it will become inflamed and ulcerated, and the wound will worsen. If your dog has a wound, it is recommended to wear an Elizabethan collar to prevent it from licking or biting the wound.

How to treat dog wounds:

1. Clean it first, remove the hair near the wound, and rinse repeatedly with saline. If there is any foreign matter in the wound, It needs to be taken out first and then cleaned.

2. Superficial wounds can be treated with ointment or medicated powder after flushing.

3. If the wound is too large or deep, the wound needs to be sutured. Serious contamination, tissue that has lost its blood supply, and severely damaged tissue must be removed first, and then sutured.
