It is very important that you contact your veterinarian immediately if your dog has an open wound.
They will be able to:
* Assess the severity of the wound
* Determine if the wound needs stitches or other treatment
* Prescribe the appropriate antibiotics and pain medication
* Advise you on how to care for the wound at home
Never attempt to treat a dog wound yourself without consulting a veterinarian. Doing so could lead to infection, further injury, or even death.
