How to treat the wound if your dog is bitten

If the wound is small, we can use saline to clean the wound, and then use alcohol or iodophor to disinfect it. It is best to apply some antibiotic ointment to avoid wound inflammation and infection. If the wound is large, parents are advised to take it to the hospital for professional treatment. It is not easy to treat the disease by yourself at home.

Tip:

When the dog goes out, we should wear a leash to prevent it from running around eating and causing conflicts with other dogs.
