Proper care of your animals is essential to their quality of life and survival.
Things to Consider:
Open drying – Some wounds that are not too deep and can be cleaned thoroughly should be applied with an ointment then be left uncovered, allowing the area to heal. If the animal is bothering the area too much, you may need to use a non-stick bandage.
Trimming – Proper trimming of the hooves will help prevent splitting and tearing, which can lead to feet problems and infections.
Bug Bites – Insects can cause a lot of problems for animals, such as when insect bites get irritated and eventually swell. Witch Hazel can help with this problem.
