hey all... nervous ninny here...
i have a question.. we were clipping fumble's knots out tonight and when we went to do the one behind the ear the scissors got a little close and it looks like we sliced the back of the ear.. it is maybe 3/4 inch long and only maybe a cm deep, but it looks like it's stretching open, almost like a mouth. i know, gross! but it's not bleeding and never did. so we followed some directions from a bunch of different first aid things and we washed it out, cleaned it up good, and then tried to put steri strips on it but fumble was not having it! so we put some neosporin on a bandage and stuck it on to the skin/fur (because he wasn't letting us clip anymore).. he barely even noticed that it happened and doesn't seem in pain when we touch it.. i was just wondering if anyone could give me some feedback..
did i do everything okay??
should i call the vet in the morning??
i'm sooo nervous that it's going to get infecteD! but i used salt water (the real thing, drove over to the beach) to clean it out and have already put a lot of neosporin on it! any help would be greaT! thanks!!
