Put some peroxide on the wound and put a bandage on it so the dog doesn't keep licking it.

Let the dog lick it because the dogs tongue will clean the wound. Just leave out some fresh water and food. If it starts bleeding again get a wet rag and dab it. Im sure your dog will be fine until tomorrow. Good luck

How did he get the puncture wound? Try to keep it clean and its ok that he licks it, he may heal it himself. Try calling an emergency vet in your area and ask for advice.

The good news is it has stopped bleeding. Him licking it will do no harm - it's what they are supposed to do, his saliva will kill germs, just make sure he doesn't open the wound back up. If he is acting normal then don't worry too much, terriers are hardy little creatures! Offer him a biscuit, if he's interested in food then he's not in too much distress.and you can relax a little.

clean wound out good with peroxide then fill puncture wound with
antibiotic (neosporen). trim hair away from wound, the hairs can
infect wound, you'll appreciate doing this later when it scabs over.

Go to the pet shop and see if they have any of those "dog cones" for sale; If not, go to a store that sells heavy weight cardboard like paper that you can make a cone out of; after that's done, peroxide, soap, water and wrap....good luck but get him to the vet asap...also, hope he's had his shots, if not, he may be quarantined!

you ought to tutor dominance, and grab the two canines, or the two, and yell at them whilst they misbehave. One very stable pass is merely too grab the canines by potential of the loose epidermis close to the shoulders, and sit down him returned. some loud "undesirable canines !" shouts in his face will enable him comprehend he's undesirable. If he would not respond to that, you are able to take the canines on its returned. If he would not respond, lean on its throat. it is going to then comprehend who's on top of issues. it somewhat is an extreme pass, and that i've got merely neede to do it a pair of times, regardless of the shown fact that it have been given the canines's interest. meanwhile do no longer supply them treats without the two canines on leash. they ought to first be taught to sit down, and stay. reward this. Then pass on. do no longer supply random treats, or do it to taunt the different canines. you ought to in no way prepare one canines around the different, except you are able to somewhat be a competent occasion. meanwhile you're encouraging very undesirable habit by potential of no longer correcting it. My well known e book on canines practise is "the thank you to Be Your canines's proper buddy".
