Dogs tail

[hellyer189 93]

My lurcher has cut his tail right on the tip (got a bit excited when I got home from work and slipped up the stairs) is it normal for it to bleed quite alot? He did it yesterday and it still don't seem to have quite stopped although it's very minimal.

Sudocrem is good after bathing the wound in Luke warm salt water , then in the evening another salt bathe and smear the wound in runney honney , don't ask did this with my lurcher after he was clawed by an alsation,a freind recomended this it worked a treat hardly any scaring now ,

dip the wound in pottasium permanganate to help it clot, get the cardboard roll from a bog roll, cut it from top to bottom place it over the tail and make the correct size for your dogs tail, then gaffer tap it from the top to the bottom including about an inch onto the hair the tip of the tail should be inside the tube, about an inch is fine, this will let the air get to it so it can scab over and the tube will protect it whilst it heals. keep an eye out for infection and bobs your fanny just out of interest do you feed comlete dry food diet?

Dry food and once a week a tin of tuna and veg
