If your dog is active or excitable, it is bound to get into a little bit of trouble from time to time. After running around outside, minor scrapes and cuts can occur quickly and easily. The biggest concern with scrapes and other wounds is infection, since bacteria or fungi can settle into the open skin and reproduce quickly. Therefore, if you find a cut on your pup, you’ll want to take care of it as quickly as you can.

It can be very scary when your beloved cat must undergo surgery. But when your cat emerges from recovery and is allowed to come home with you to rest and heal, your anxiety probably won’t stop.
