Most dog bites can be stitched, especially if the wound is large. In general, cat bites are not stitched. Cat bites are usually puncture wounds and can be quite deep. Cat bites have a higher risk of infection than dog bites.
Should dog bite wound be covered?
Keep the wound covered and change bandages daily. Keep an eye on the wound for signs of infection. Depending on the type of infection, symptoms can start appearing within 24 hours up to 14 days after being bitten.
Does dog wound need stitches?
Many cuts need to be sutured closed. For dogs who are calm we can do this in the office with no sedation, just a local block and a few staples or stitches. However many dogs need to be sedated because they are too scared, wild, or painful. Punctures should always be seen as soon as possible.
