Dogs suffer from trauma, there is a slight bleeding situation, first apply cotton balls to help it press for a few minutes to stop the bleeding, and then put on it Elisabeth ring to prevent it from licking the wound. Shave the wound and rinse it with saline or hydrogen peroxide until the pus and blood is rinsed away and then you can dip it in some iodine to disinfect the wound.
