It was back in early February...I was in my office working and Parker ran in and bounced onto his bed. He had just come in from the back yard, and was his usual happy self...and then I looked over and saw the gash on his nose! He had blood all over his face, but didn't seem to mind. OMG! What happened?We never did discover what the cause was. We treated the wound at home with a mix of powdered sage and styptic powder. It formed a large covering like a scab over the wound. It wasn't pretty, but it stopped the bleeding and protected it.
After a week or so the powder began to flake off, and we began using warm compresses on the wound to help the remaining powder to wear off. Once it was gone, we used vitamin E oil to cover and soothe the area. Now, two months later the wound has healed and there's barely a scar to show. The fur is grown back, and he's as handsome as ever!
Hopefully we won't have anything like this again.
