Dog and Cat Bite Wounds and Abscesses.

The 'SECRET' is dealing with the bite wound
BEFORE it turns into an Abscess.

If More of you did this, you could SAVE your

Here is a snippet of What's you'll find:

SIGNS

A red and possibly swollen area appears on your
pet. Sometimes puncture marks are visible. There
may be bleeding if blood vessels are damaged.
Lameness, if the puncture affects a leg. This
is commonly seen in cats in catfights. Abscesses
are often found at the tail base of cats as they
are running away and are bitten in the bum.


CAUSES

Your pet's teeth are very sharp, and even small
punctures can lead to abscesses. The mouth is a
large cauldron of bacteria, and when your pet is
bitten, these enter and multiply in a wound,
becoming an abscess.


SOLUTIONS

KNOW WHEN TO SEE YOUR VETERINARIAN. If your pet is
very lethargic, not eating or drinking, then see your
veterinarian immediately. Bacteria from abscesses can
spread in the body, giving your pet septicemia (blood
poisoning). If your pet has a large swelling that is
not draining, then you must see your veterinarian to
have it drained surgically. Abscesses that are open
and draining and small bite wounds can be treated
safely at home.

BARBER TIME. Trim the hair around the bite or wound.
Trim large sections with scissors, and carefully use
a disposable razor to trim the hair next to the skin.

KEEP IT CLEAN. If possible, put your pet in the sink
or bathtub and run lukewarm tap water on the bite or
abscess for 5 minutes. If your pet won't tolerate
running water, use a damp cloth or gauze sponge.
Purchase an antiseptic soap, Germi-Stat, available
at your local pharmacy, and wash the area well.
Keep the wound clean and perform this water therapy
twice daily for 5-7 days.

STAY OPEN. The most important thing you can do to
prevent the bite from turning into a costly abscess
is to vigorously scrub the puncture wound with a
damp cloth and antiseptic soap. The puncture marks
MUST stay open for at least 3 days to drain properly.
For large abscesses that are open and draining,
keep them open for at least 3 days after you have
thoroughly cleaned them and clipped the surrounding hair.
