Then put an Elizabethan ring on the dog and cut its fingernails to prevent it from scratching the wound again. After shaving off the hair that is too long around the wound, you can use hydrogen peroxide or salt water to clean the wound. After cleaning and blowing the wound, you can apply some elephant fat to assist in disinfection and sterilization and prevent wound infection.
