Smokey Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Smokey and Zeeva got in a quibble over a bone. Smokey bit Zeeva pretty hard on the head, right above the eye. No more bones for them :'-c. And sadly I bought like 40 dollars worth of bones for them... It's pretty deep. I cleaned it out with hydrogen peroxide and a cue-tip. Can you look at this picture and see if it requires a vet visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Echo and Darwin (Our idential twins to your pair) have "got it on" over the last few years. Most have resulted in similar wounds on Echo. It's not a gash so shouldn't need stiches or staples. Keep it clean it'll heal up. You'll probably find Smokey licking it to help later. If you check there may be a second wound somewhere. to get a good grip to make the top wound there may be a second tooth mark from Smokeys bottom jaw.

I will check thoroughly again but I couldn't find anything :c...If I can't find it do you think it might not be a bite??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not getting a proper grip, but still stabbing in with one canine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuskyMom09 Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 keep clean with Iodine and a triple antibiotic ointment like Neosporin is fine. Be very watchful with head wounds, especially bite wounds as they abscess easily. If you notice any increase of swelling, redness, or if an odor develops take your pup to the vet immediately.

Steve Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Like others have said, keep it clean and keep an eye on it, and it should heal fine. Any sign of it swelling - off to the vets straight away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormy Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Same as everyone else has said.. saw a bite like this before and then his eye started to swell so then he had a vet visit as it had got infection and once they had cleaned all the wound etc it was actually a far worse bite than it looked just the fur descised it quite alot! So just keep an eye on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
