What kind of dog medicine do you use at home to treat an open wound dog bite to your dog?
none you would put a dressing or a bandige rond it
NEXT ANSWER:
When a dog or any animal has an opened wound from another animal's bite your dog / cat / animal SHOULD be seen by a local veterinarian. This is the only way to help thwart off a possible infection and obtain the right treatment.
It will cost a lot less by getting them there right away then trying to treat this yourself and the area becomes infected.
If you can't do it yourself, get your dog to the nearest veterinary hospital. But, if that's not possible press wet clothe to the wound. Keep pressure to stop any excessive bleeding, next you must dress the wound, if it's big stiching may be required, but if it's small once the bleeding stops, allowing the dog to clean and lick it to rid it of any bacteria.

Should you go to the doctor if you are bitten by a flea?
It's hard to disinfect a bite wound, and if it's a serious one, a hospital can help a lot. If you want to treat it at home, here's what you need to do: Any bite wound presents the immediate problem of bleeding. Once that is controlled, you need to concentrate on infection. So, once bleeding is controlled, work on prophylacsis. Get a basin of warm water. Add to it hydrogen peroxide (.5C) and betadyne (.25C). Some soap won't hurt. Scrub the wound immersed -- not hard enough to open it, but enough to clean it. Let it soak for at least 20 minutes. Dry it gently, and bandage with a loose, sterile wrap. Check it daily -- if it infects, you're off to the doctor. Change the dressing every day and disinfect with betadyne or H2O2 -- or both -- and re-wrap. The way that dog bites go south is if an infection forms up. If you can stop that by consistent cleaning, and the wound doesn't need sutures, you're home free. If it infects, you're beyond the scope of what you can do at home. Note: Human bites are worse.
