Dogs love to lick wounds is their growth habit. They can only solve wounds in the wild by themselves, use saliva to remove the wounds and relieve itching and pain. Little do you know that licking too much will make it more difficult to heal the wound. This is also a lot of trouble for the owner: What should I do if a dog is injured and always licks the wound?
1. Use Elizabeth's circle to cover the dog's head so that it cannot lick and suck the wound.
The Elizabeth ring is placed on the top of the dog's head like a lamp cover, which can prevent it from licking and sucking the wound. However, it will block the dog's view and make its neck uncomfortable. It will be particularly resistant when worn on the dog and constantly scratch it with its front paws. The owner can use some snack rewards, such as giving snacks after carrying them, and giving snacks after carrying them for 10 or 30 seconds, which will continue to extend the sexual time, so that the dog will become more accustomed to the "Elizabeth circle" and "snacks". In addition, in addition to the most basic transparent plastic model, Elizabeth rings are also made of pure cotton or foam plastic, which is likely to make the dog more comfortable and not conflicted.
2. If the wound is deep, wrap the wound with a sand cloth and a bandage to avoid licking and sucking.
If the wound is deep, it is best to wrap it with a sand cloth or a bandage after removing the wound and applying medicine. But there is no need to tie it too tightly to prevent the commodity from circulating. I help my dog clean the wound and change the dressing every once in a while.
3. Wearing a dog's postoperative recovery suit can not only make the dog stable but also avoid licking and sucking.
For some dogs after surgery, pet doctors will give them postoperative recovery clothes to avoid unclean things in the wound in daily life, or inflammation after licking and sucking. And the cystic feeling created by clothes and pants will make the dog more comfortable.
4. Use small toys or chew-resistant ingredients to distract the dog.
When a dog is bored, it will be concerned about dealing with itchy and painful wounds on its body, so its owner can disperse its concentration with small toys or bite-resistant ingredients. After the dog is injured, let it rest as much as possible without having to exercise too much. To use small toys to distract it, it is best to choose small toys that miss food, put snacks in it and tempt it to have fun, maybe it can play for half an hour. In addition, if you have something to eat, the dog will undoubtedly put all its vitality on the ingredients! Some ginger-resistant ingredients such as big beef bones and deer antlers can also be allowed to chew for a while.
The most distressing thing is skin diseases, which are long-term treatment and are very easy to cause repeated licking and sucking by dogs. Keep the dog's skin dry as much as possible, and help the dog disinfect and sterilize and apply medicine to avoid excessive licking and sucking. After careful treatment, you will be cured and treated for a period of time.
