Dog Bite on Cat
Before you can treat a cat for dog bites, you may have to break up a right. When given the opportunity, the cat will try to escape. If the cat doesn’t escape, you will have to resort to one of the methods suggested below.
If the cat is on the dog’s back, take a broomstick or pole and, try to slide it under the cat and propel the animal off the dog’s back, at the same time shouting to distract the cat’s attention. Don’t try to lift it off with your hands, as you will be scratched by the cat or bitten by the dog.
If a hose is handy, you may be able to separate the combatants by spraying them with water.
As a last resort, try frightening them with a loud noise, such as that caused by banging pots and pans together. Occasionally, this will send dog and cat scurrying off in opposite directions.
Dogs usually rip or tear as they bite, sometimes leaving gaping wounds, which may bleed profusely.
First, control all bleeding and wash wounds with mild soap and water. Apply antiseptic to wounds. If the wounds are minor, they may need no further attention, but severe ones should be treated by a vet. The rips or wounds may have to be sutured. Treat for shock after all wounds are treated. Large wounds should receive the attention of veterinary surgeon.
