Sp Singh better you dont cover the wounds --- I have never used it --may be yes may be not
22 July at 08:20 ·
Gautam Unny no never, it will also increase the bacterial population at an alarmingly high speed

Saurabh Saxena so what can be the best alternative?shd we cover the wound or not in this weather
22 July at 08:27 ·
Sp Singh wash with normal saline - apply betadine -if needed systemic atibiotics

Gautam Unny as a rule dog bite wounds are not to be covered unless the bleeding is in excess

Premal Darji yes,,it can b used..but only if required u use it..like if u feel the wound isnt healing that well with conventional methods..mixing potassium permagnet in NS. very little..to make the water light pink(not very dark)..can b used to clean the wounds daily..thr is one manglorian ayurvedic oil- kempanna oil..i found it very useful to heal wounds ..specially deep wounds,mainly dogbites..i hav used it on myself also.

Rajshankar Tony Sarma Gautam is right - before covering the wound, make sure the wound bed is healthy. If just a small wound and no damage anticipated to deeper tissues, I may leave and just give antibiosis/analgesia; however, if big wounds, revert to standard open wound management before planning closure.

Gautam Unny i always take a dog bite to be like a syringe filled with pus being injected into the skin. a dogs tooth is like the needle filled with pus.so even when i see a small opening on the skin surface of a single tooth mark, often i open it with a small incision to increase the area for washing. in my experience i have seen that small openings in a dbw often lead to deep fistulas later

Swarupmay Majumdar best example

Joseph Cyrus any body have any experience with Capnocytophaga (DF2)? The culprit in dog bite wounds!
22 July at 17:52 ·
Amber Mishra U can also use the Oxum spray(alkem ), getting excellent results from it
Unable to understand What Capnocytophaga (DF2) is, anyone please elaborate..
23 July at 16:01 ·
Swarupmay Majumdar Capnocytophaga is a bacteria that causes periodontal disease and bite wounds from animal bites.this is also formerly known as dysgonic fermenter 2 (DF2). It is is a fastidious, Gram-negative rod that forms part of the normal oral flora of dogs. This is in reference to Dr Joseph's enquiry but I have read about it , not seen a case so far

Joseph Cyrus It is a major organism in an immune comprimised individual man or animal. The only antibiotic that works for it is Amox clav. The death post bite in some cases have been attributed to this in humans and dogs.

Ajay Kesarwani dog bite wds if needed can b sutured loosely.Open a drain and wash daily with saline, h2o2,chlorine water and betadine.placentrex is used on non healing wds to cause granulation.
