it only stops the bleeding, heals nowt only time does that, if it opens up again its not had time to heal, ear and tail injuries are a nightmare with blood getting everywhere, in general this sorts it instantly. yeah I kinda know time heals Paul ? I meant it can give the impression it's healing and to someone that doesn't know might think it's healed .. But it hasn't really hence my little warning lol . But your right for cuts on ears it's good to stop bleeding .
