Bite wounds
Your animal may be frightened and hurt, so approach with caution. Use a muzzle if needed. Flush out the wound with saline or warm water. Topical Bacitracin can be applied. Wrap large wounds with a clean cloth or bandage material to keep clean. Apply pressure if it there is active bleeding. Bite wounds usually become infected, so it is necessary to seek veterinary attention immediately for appropriate antibiotic therapy. Often what you see at the surface, such as a few small bite punctures, will have extensive subcutaneous tissue damage that you cannot see. Be sure to have your pet examined if there has been a bite wound inflicted.
