How do you cure a dogs leg injury?

In: Dog Health [Edit categories]

Answer:

That depends on the nature of the injury. If it is a minor cut, then clean it twice a day with peroxide and apply an antibiotic cream; be sure to watch for signs of infection also. If it is a large cut, gash, burn, puncture , etc., then the dog needs to be taken to a veterinarian for proper treatment. If it is a broken bone, then it needs to be taken to a vet for that, as well. If you are not sure what the problem with the dog's leg is, then you need to have your vet examine the dog so it can be given the proper treatment. But what ever the cause or kind of injury, please get the dog proper treatment, and don't let it suffer needlessly.
