Deep cut

[Buchan]

The glue must go on the wound, not in it. Pinch the edges together and apply like a steristrip. There is a paper on using the hair to appose the edges

Assuming there is no deeper damage

He didn’t mention the dog holding its leg or anything. If you run to the vets every time you had something like that, you’d be out of pocket with working dogs.

? Leaving an opening for exudate.

Got a stapler for similar cuts on our dogs, if it's a clean fresh wound a bit of blue spray and a couple of those in for about a week usual does it.

And I’d be in pocket. How else to am I to keep myself in whisky and cartridges?! I’ve seen too many simple wounds go bad, hence the caution.

Glue - yes you need to make a decision if it is infected or not, had to be clean, or cleaned

Ok, if you say so.

one of my spaniels cut herself in almost the same spot 10 day's ago, I've just taken the staples out today and all looks well.
with regards to treating it yourself unless you are confident in doing so go to the vet's to be safe.
a well stocked first aid kit is an absolute life saver," literally".
for future use and to gain experience in using staples practice on, maybe a dead deer or fox ,bit gruesome but it will give you a feel for it.

I bulk my own first aid kit for the dog. The reality is stalking on my own, if I need to use celox or a torniquet, I'm probably not making it out alive the dog on the other hand, far better odds.

Try this from a horsey supplier, clean the wound well, add some lotion, and bandage to cover, helps the healing process
