Dogs cut leg

My dog has a deep cut on his leg you can see the flesh underneath it is starting to smell and he cant put weight on it we are seeing a vet tommorow what can I do in the mean time

Answer #1

um… put a rag on it thats has warm water , try not to let anythang get into it or it will be infected . p.s hope your dog will be ok

Answer #2

Wrinse it out with warm water. Then flush it with antibacterial cleaner, the kind that’s used for cuts. Dry it off with a clean absorbant cloth. apply pressure with a new cloth once it’s dry until bleeding slows or stops. then wrap an ace bandage around it, or if you don’t have an ace bandage simply wrap a clean cloth around it. make sure it’s relatively tight. hope this helps =)

Answer #4
