cut ear

[lesley n russell]

Hi took alfie for a haircut on friday. When i picked him up the lady told me she had cut his ear with the clippers. The cut is at the end of his ear. its more like a small chunk shes took out. The scab has came off a cpl a times and started bleeding again It doesnt seem to bother him but am worried. Should i take him to the vet to get it checked up? Or am i just being paranoid?

what groomer did you use.

if its not bothering him i would leader it. but if you want to set your mind at ease bathe it with some antiseptic solution. and just keep an eye on how it is healing.

Poor wee dog.

Follow nurse Kendal's instructions and keep an eye on him.

I am sure he will be fine.

A bit of antiseptic and he'll be right as rain. I go through tons of the stuff as I have a dog that thinks he's a commando and is forever coming back from the woods with little nicks.

He came hurtling out of a wood at the weekend, tripped over a bramble vine, did a full tumble and carried on running.

Doesn't seem to bother him much.
