The pet owner needs to pay attention to the pus in dog wounds. If the pus is not serious, you can help the dog treat the wound by yourself. During the cleaning process, carefully squeeze out the pus to promote the cleansing of the wound. If the dog is seriously injured and has a large range of suppuration, it is best to seek medical examination and perform professional debridement to avoid incomplete discharge of pus and re-infection. Here are some suitable treatment measures for minor trauma for reference.
1. Remove foreign objects and clean wounds. After you find that the dog is injured, you can first check whether there are some residual foreign objects on its wound, such as wood thorns, glass, grass clippings, etc. You need to use disinfected tweezers to carefully pull them out and clean them up, and then bring Elizabethan rings to the dog and trim the hair around the wound for subsequent treatment.
After the wound is exposed, you can first use clean water to rinse the wound for the dog. During the rinsing process, carefully squeeze out the pus, and then rinse it alternately with normal saline and hydrogen peroxide. After air-drying, you can wipe some iodine ovules to disinfect and prevent wound infection.
2. Bandage care for wounds
After the dog's wound is cleaned, you can find someone to fix it to prevent it from moving, and then sprinkle it on the surface of the wound with a pet and quick-close it. The powder should be better covered, so that the powder can penetrate better to help keep the wound dry and hygienic and speed up the healing speed. Finally, bandage it with sterile gauze to minimize the contact between the wound air, so as to prevent bacteria infecting the wound and causing the wound to become purulent again.
3. Observe the wound and supplement nutrition. During the injury, try to minimize the frequency of the dog's going out. Pet owners can observe the recovery of the wound more. If it is kept dry and hygienic, it is better to recover. If water and pus are still there, it is recommended to seek medical examination and rebrand, and to give anti-inflammatory injections to help the dog eliminate inflammation.
If you want the dog to heal faster, pet owners can also give the dog some food that helps to restrain the wound, such as boiled chicken, nutritional cream, mullet soup, fruit puree, etc. The dog's nutrition is enhanced, which will also help the wound recovery.
