I think that a couple of your answers are the best... its a combination one depending on the slice or if its a chunk... clean it, hold pressure on it and apply antioboitic ointment if its a more of a chunk, if its more of a slice put a very small amt of ointment in it then YES use super glue... the groomer that worked at the vet I used to work for always had it by her side, not to mention we had it at the treatment table in the back for just such things.. keep it clean for a couple days and it will be fine...dont really reccomend wrapping it though keep it open to the air..better healing...smile... good luck..

If it is a slice you can use (and I am not kidding) super glue to bond the skin together ( I have used this on my dogs in the past), or if it is just the top layer removed just keep pressure on it until it stops bleeding. You should not have to worry about it if so, just keep it clean for a few days.

Keep it clean and change the wrap every day put some oitment on the wound. Keep from getting area infected or being irritated.

Brother is a professional grommer and he uses superglue for SKIN only cuts. It works and doesn't hurt them. Just don't glue yourself to dog! Then apply triple antibiotic ointmernt to prevent infection.

Do NOT use salty water! Clean it with an anti bacterial soap & apply an antibiotic.
