Tips for Managing Tears and Minor Ear Injuries:

  • Many blood vessels in the ear can cause significant bleeding from minor tears or cuts
  • Locate the injury site and apply pressure to stop bleeding
  • Thoroughly inspect both the outer and inner parts of the injury
  • Prevent blood from dripping into the ear
  • If bleeding continues, use gauze dressing and a bandage, ensuring the dog's comfort and breathing
  • Only bandage over the injured ear
  • Seek immediate veterinary treatment for your pet
