Hi All,
 
The other day, my best buddy, Gypsy, a male chocolate sable, somehow
managed to cut himself on his right hind leg.  Looking more closely, it
appears as though the cut is in between one of his toes.  I noticed this
after he began tracking blood across the hardwood floor.
 
I rinsed his foot with warm water and cleaned out most of the blood with a
cloth.  The bleeding seemed to stop minutes later.  However, this morning,
he managed to re-open the wound once again.
 
What is the best way to treat these kind of cuts?  Should I use an alcohol
solution on them?  Should I wrap up his foot?  Or should I leave it be and
let it heal itself?
 
Any advice would be most helpful ... and appreciated.
 
Best Regards,
Dan Herold (and Gypsy)
Toronto, Canada
