What should I do if my pet has an open cut?
If it is an abrasion, the surface will be scraped off. An incision will look like a clean cut. A laceration will have skin and tissue tears and a puncture wound will have a small, sometimes deep opening at the surface. Control the bleeding, treat for shock if necessary and seek medical attention from your veterinarian. Also, avoid having your pet lick his wounds as it may increase inflammation.
