Types of Dog Skin Injury

Dogs have very sensitive skin so it's very important to act right away to avoid any problems if your dog has suffered any burns.

Water or oil burns in a dog:

Run cold water over the burn. Do not put any type of cream on the dog.
Cover the burn with a wet cloth or you can put a bag of ice and take the dog to the veterinary clinic right away.

Corrosive material burns:

Put a muzzle on the dog. If you do not have one you can make one by

using a handkerchief or a cloth around the dog's mouth. This is done to avoid the dog from licking the affected area.

Very gently wash the burn with water, and then take the dog to the veterinarian.

Insect bites on a dog: Believe it or not insect bites can actually cause a dog a lot of discomfort and can cause allergic reactions to the dog such as hives. In some cases the dog may have difficulty breathing. Make sure to call the veterinarian right away.

Wasp stings on a dog: Make sure to wash the affected zone with a diluted acidic substance, such as vinegar with water.

Bee stings on a dog: Try to remove the stinger with some tweezers (the stinger looks like a short dark hair). Put bicarbonate sodium on the bite.

Snakebites: Don't put a tourniquet on the dog or attempt to suck the venom out of the snakebite. The best way to slow the circulation of the venom is by limiting your dog's activity as much as possible. Get veterinary attention right away. Snakebites are extremely painful so handle the dog with a lot of care.
