Methods for treating suppurating dog wounds:
1. It is recommended to remove the hair around the wound first to prevent the hair from contaminating the wound.
2. Use hydrogen peroxide and saline to clean the wound and then use iodophor to disinfect the wound.
3. After cleaning and disinfection, apply medicine to promote wound healing. During the wound healing period, the dog needs to wear an Elizabethan collar.
4. If there is no improvement, send the dog to the pet hospital in time and follow the doctor’s advice for treatment.
Causes of purulent wounds in dogs:
1. If the dog’s wound is purulent, it may be caused by failure to treat the wound in time, resulting in insufficient cleaning and disinfection of the wound.
2. It may also be caused by bacterial and fungal infection caused by moisture in the wound.
