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.
