How to treat cuts, bites and wounds

• Contact the practice for advice. 
• The most appropriate treatment will depend on the severity and size of the wound.
• Avoid removing any foreign bodies that may be inside the cut, as this can cause further trauma or bleeding. 
• If the wound is dirty, you should ideally flush out the area with salt water.
• Apply a pressure bandage.
• Give your pet a salt water bath if appropriate.
