my dog cut her lower leg?

Hi,the one thing about dogs when they get hurt they soon bounce back.Try & keep the wound clean Like you have said if it does not heal then it will be the vets.Hopefully your dog will heal quickly.

Good Luck

Just keep doing what your doing now and it should heal up fine. Some people are like rush your dog to the vet asap for the littlest thing but sometimes that costs to much because dogs are always jumping and playing and there going to get hurt. So just keep it cleaned out. But if it does start to swell or get red and irritated then it could be infected.

I would just take her to the vet now. If it's sore they can give her pain relief, you can't. For just the price of a consult fee, it's worth having it properly checked rather than waiting to see if it becomes infected or not. Do not let the dog lick it. They do this for comfort but the bacteria in their mouths will make the wound infected.

an advice from a pet care worker

a cut is not painful for dogs. i saw many dogs n cats with tis problem in my 5 years of work. i m also a part time vet. put a towel in a bowl of ice water for 5 min then 1 min in boiling water n place it on the wound...

should works if it is a chihuahua...

if your dog's breed is a special kind that can get sickly then try the vet

but if your dog is just a regular dog i think it will just heal by itself just like my dog <=3

Just keep it clean.
