I was out with my dog & unbegnonist to me he found a stray cat - hes cat frendsly but obvously startled it - he had a scratch on his nose & I think his ear was bitten or scratched also ? I am taking him to the vet first thing tomorrow morning

Try putting peroxide on the wound with a cotton ball to get any dirt or maybe infection out.
No, there isn't anything that you can do.
You can call an Emergency Vet in your area if he gets worst during the night.

If the bleeding does not stop within an hour or two then she might have a severe reduce and possibly want stiches. If she has a limp and the limp will get worst within 10 to 24 hours take her to the vet due to an infection in her paw. Actually i would take the dog as quickly as possible as a result of the quantity of infections that may get into the paw. Also to make certain the canine does no longer need any severe scientific concentration. Take the the canine to the vet for right medical evaluation. You do not know what form of illnesses that cat could have. For all you already know a wild cat would have rabies, heart worms, blood disorder, or any other quantity of matters.
