Help!!! I knicked his ear I was trimming Joey's hair and decided to try his ears. Joey moved and I got his ear. There is a slit and it is bleeding. A friend told me to use baking soda, does anyone has any suggestions? Thanks Colleen |
depends on where you cut it. did you slice off a piece or make a slit straight in? is it deep? keep constant pressure on the ear with clean towels or guaze |
I did that once and it bled like crazy. powdered alum should work, it is what they use in styptic pencils for when men cut themselves shaving. I'd get the bleeding stopped and then she would shake her head and it would start all over again. |
Use styptic powder in a paper towel and hold it to the ear. If you left a V-shaped cut, go to the vet to see if they want to do a few stitches. You can also use flour or bread even. Why not purchase a Pet First Aid kit along with a pet first aid guide from Yorkshire Terrier National Rescue? http://www.yorkierescue.com/storelist.html |
Never heard of baking soda, but flour or cornstarch will work. |
It is close to the base, not really straight in, almost like the clippers took off a little of a wrinkle. It sounds so bad! He is doing really good so far. I have been putting neosporin on it. But every time Joey shakes his head the bleeding starts again. |
If you don't have any styptic powder, just put some flour or cornstarch on it and the bleeding will stop. Good luck!;) |
Thanks for all the advice! It hasn't been bleeding and Joey is leaving it alone. The flour worked the best! Colleen |
