Some dogs are usually very active and mischievous, so they can sometimes appear with scratches, cuts, bites and other wounds that may require immediate medical attention.
However, some injuries may be less serious and only need to be treated at home.
But how do I know when my animal's wound requires medical treatment? As a first instance, I recommend that the moment you begin to doubt whether the wound is dangerous or not, immediately consult your trusted veterinarian, as it is better to be safe than sorry.
As a guide, your puppy will require medical treatment if:
- You are in shock, bleeding excessively or if after a while and despite your efforts, the wound has not stopped bleeding.
- If the wound is quite deep and you think it may require stitches, it is best to immediately travel to your doctor.
- If your animal has been attacked by another animal, or if it has been hit by a car.
- If after a couple of days the wound has not healed and healed.
If, on the other hand, the wounds are simply minor scrapes or wounds, They may be cured at home. Nature generally provides first aid on countless herbs. There are plants and natural ingredients that are excellent for calming the skin and helping the skin's natural healing and regenerative process. Some plants, such as tea tree oil, are used to keep wounds clean and heal the skin in a natural way without causing secondary or collateral effects.
Others natural remedies to heal wounds that are not serious, are the root of Althaea officinalis that acts to soothe the skin, and Rosemary that serves as a skin tonic at the same time that it acts as an antiseptic to disinfect wounds suffered on the skin.
