We had an accident today my youngest son was comming out of the garage and its one of those heavy metal industrial doors that closes behind you automatically { we are removing that mechanism so it will be only a push or pull door} but I guess when he came out cali was with him as she always is and her tail got caught in the door and cut about an inch off clean. We called the vet but he said there isnt much to do just keep it really clean and get her on antibiotics { which we have } , we have wrapped it tightly with gauze after cleaning with iodine my question is there anything else we should do to help this heal? hoping one of you vet techs can chime in with any advice. It has soaked a bandage after it was on a few hours { i dont think we had it wrapped tight enough } it isnt bleeding badly but of course a lil blood looks like alot more then it is and Im kinda wondering if I should get it stitched but not really sure if there is anything to stitch. What do you think? the vet said if its bleeding profusely to bring her in I dont think its that bad, but always second guessing what I think .
