Managing Cuts and Dressing for Your Pet
Dealing with Serious Cuts
If your pet has a **serious cut**, follow these steps:
- Apply a dressing to control bleeding.
- Seek immediate veterinary care for professional treatment.
Caring for Minor Injuries
For **minor injuries**, keep these guidelines in mind:
- Do not leave the dressing on for an extended period; typically, a day is sufficient.
- Ensure the dressing is not too tight to avoid cutting off circulation.
- Apply the dressing, starting from the furthest point of the wound.
- Regularly check the temperature above and below the dressing and watch for signs of swelling.
- If you're uncertain, always seek veterinary assistance.
