Dogs ear won't stop bleeding

[Attilathecanuk]

My boxer Mya and Dane Anna got in a fight and Mya got a 1" split in her ear. Direct pressure for awhile with paper towel stops the bleeding for a bit then we bandage with blood stop and gauze wrapped around her head but she shakes it off and starts the bleeding again. Anyone have an awesome trick that can help?

x2. It works, but your dog may not be too impressed with you for a bit.

Clean it out really well, then use Krazy glue - just enough to close the wound and try to avoid the hair as much as possible. I've used it on myself in the past on cuts that should have been stitched, works great.


edit: Kurt beat me to it.

I've used it on myself and it works awesome, especially on those damn cuts on your finger tips.

Great trick that works every time: Take her to the vet to get stitched up. Soon (like now) and then make sure she wears a cone.

Just don't glue your fingers to the dog's ear as you are waiting for the glue to set. That would suck.

Thanks all, a bit of crazy glue tonight and tomorrow morning take her in for some stitching and a hood ornament (cone).

I've "fixed" some pretty nasty cut on myself with crazy glue.
The last time I did it my wife insisted I go to the hospital anyway.
We did and the Dr told me if the crazy glue works then stitches
would only make the scar worse. He did give me a shot though.
No pics but it was from a 4 1/2 cutting disk blew apart and stuck
itself about half way into my thigh.
I just dumped a bottle of hydrogen peroxide on/in it and glued it shut.

Heh? A cone so she doesn't lick her ears? That'd be some flexible dog. Or one with awful long ears.

are you a vet by chance?

Cones serve more purpose than just licking.

Don't need to go to vet school to know that a dog can scratch her ear with her hind foot. (at least I don't)

This for sure, problem solved with no risk to the dog seems like a no brainer to me.

For the injury described, this is the only solution that will stop bleeding and heal the ear. Not only will the ear look better it will be less prone to future injury.
