" Hi. I'm Dr. Lauren at Petside.com. Your pet can get injured outside, running in the yard or playing with another animal. If you pet does get a cut, you should get it to a veterinarian as soon as possible. If you can get it to a vet right away, I'm going to show you how to keep the cut clean."

" If you pet does get cut, you should see your veterinarian. There are some cuts that requite stitches to heal properly. If you can't get to your vet right away you definitely want to keep the cut clean. The first thing you want to do is get the hair out of the site where your pet was cut. You can this by either wetting the hair down or if you have clippers, you can gently cut the hair away from the cut. Do not use scissors to remove the hair. The next thing you want to do is flush the area out. You can either use hydrogen peroxide or warm water. Do not put alcohol in the cut because this could really sting your pet. So all you have to do is take some warm water or peroxide and gently clean out the cut. Now this pet doesn't actually have a cut but you can see what I'm doing. And at the same time, I just move the hair away from site that I want to clean. Then, you can use an antibacterial ointment, that you can get at your local pharmacy like Neosporin and you can gently place that on the cut. Now the cut should be nice and clean and you get your pet to your veterinarian. I'm Dr. Lauren from petside.com, if you have any questions feel free to email me at Dr. Lauren at petside.com."
