WOUNDED DOG
by John Woodward
IN the healthy dog, fight bites or wounds usually heal quickly; but his own licking is not suficient treatment. This, like so many theories about dogs, is an old wives' tale.
Surrounding hair should first be clipped with scissors, in case it in the cause of irritation or even polsoning. If the wound Is clean, tincture of iodine should be applied without provious washing; otherwise it should be bathed with anti-septic solution-iodine in water, boracic, or peroxide of hydrogen—in such a way that grit or dust is carried out by the flow of the liquid.
To rub or dab is unprofessional and inadequate. Excessive bleeding can be staunched with a pad of cotton-wool, soaked in the solution.
If a bandage is needed, common sense will point the way to apply it, tightly enough but not too tightly. For subsequent dally trentment, boracle powder is useful; or a healing dressing may be made of boracic and zinc ointments, mixed in equal parts,
A cut foot must be examined with care, and pieces of broken glass, splinters or thorns removed. A fight bandage round the leg helps to stop the bleeding; and after the fool has been dressed a protective "boot," made in the form of small bag, should be tied round the leg.
In the case of a torn car-flap, another common mishap, the edges of the wound should be held together with medicated plaster. A. special collar, like an Elizabethan rul, can be bought, or made out of cardboard, and will prevent the dog from scratching his ears
or any head wound.
