How to Treat Dog Bite Wounds on Dogs

If your dog is attacked by another dog, your dog may have wounds as a result of the fight. It is imperative that you determine how serious the bite on your dog is, and whether it requires an immediate emergency trip to the vet clinic or if it is a nip or surface bite you can treat at home. Unfortunately, some injuries may be deeper than they appear at first glance, so if you are ever in doubt or uncertain how serious the bite is, take your dog in to your vet to check the severity of the bite.

Determining if the Dog Bite Requires a Vet If your dog is bleeding heavily, take him to the vet.

 Blood pumping from the wound is a sign that an artery or large vein has been damaged. The blood vessel may need to be ligated tied off in a surgical procedure done by your vet.   Use a sterile gauze swab to apply pressure to the wound.

 Do this as a first aid measure on the way to the vet. You will find sterile gauze swabs in a first aid kit.  If you don’t have a first aid kit handy, you can use an article of clothing like a cotton t-shirt, diaper, or maxi pad to create a compress and press it against the wound with sufficient pressure to stop the bleeding. After 5 minutes, cautiously lift the compress up. If the bleeding starts again, replace the pad and hold it in place until you arrive at the vet clinic. Use a cotton t-shirt rather than a wool sweater or anything fuzzy, as fibers from these materials can get into the wound.Check your dog to see if they have rapid, shallow breathing.

 This is a possible indication of shock, which can be life-threatening in its own right, or that a tooth has penetrated into your dog’s chest and is allowing air to enter the thoracic cavity. Take them to the vet clinic as soon as possible, as this serious injury needs immediate medical attention.  If you can see a wound over your dog’s ribs, place a pad a sterile gauze swab or a folded cotton t-shirt over the wound and either hold it there If your dog is attacked by another dog, your dog may have wounds as a result of the fight.
