ruby and star were playing in the garden and one of them yelped, but they both got up and continued on playing, wasnt till couple of mins later that we notice they both had a fair bit of blood on them

anyway we have brought them in and on inspection it seems that ruby has bit stars ear and star has pulled away, causing a 3mm split right at the end

it seems to have stopped bleeding and she doesnt seem to bothered but should we take her to the vet? or can we do anything to fix it?

ill try get a pic in a min.

thanks

i wouldnt worry too much katie mine are always catching their ears and although they bleed like mad they always heal pretty quickly i just bathe them with a bit of salt water so dont worry welcome to the world of whippets :lol:

:sweating: :sweating: we've have bathed it an it has stopped bleeding, and it doesnt look quite as bad :sweating:

cant believe how much blood came out of it the 2 of them looked like they sprayed, and once we got it clean she shook her head and covered everything again :sweating:

thanks for the advice :huggles: :huggles:

Logan split his ear once. He managed to spray it all up the walls in as many rooms as possible! (w00t) Ears are full of veins and bleed very easily. Fortunately, it usually looks far worse than it is. :thumbsup: Star will be fine. :huggles:

Awww poor Star :huggles: Kiss it better for her :wub:

I'd just keep an eye on it for a day or so to make sure it isn't getting infected and I'm sure it'll be healed up before you know it :thumbsup: Just another war wound for the wee girl

Hope Star's ear heels quickly, I'm sure it will. :thumbsup:

Give them both :huggles: from us.

Hope Star is feeling better this morning. Flipping dogs are nutters! Yesterday Pax went stampeding accross the garden and knocked Bridget clean off her feet making her yowl.

I am thinking of getting a herd of cattle to run around the house next, lol. :lol:

Glad to hear Star is ok and didn't need any treatment :huggles: . Blood generally makes things look worse than they are I think.

Wouldn't wash it too much. The cut needs to dry out so that it will heal. Washing it could cause it to open up again. Best left alone really. :thumbsup:
