Lacerations in Dogs

Dr. Lera talks about lacerations in dogs with Abby, a nine-month-old Dogo Argentino. A laceration is a cut, usually linear, which results in variable damage to the underlying tissues. Lacerations are external injuries and can be seen by the naked eye. Lacerations appear as cut wounds of varying severity and depth. Full thickness lacerations through the skin cut through all layers of the skin, often exposing muscle, tendons or bone. They may also be bleeding. Your vet will conduct a physical examination and assess your pet’s wounds. Superficial lacerations often do not require any stitching up. However, they can potentially still be infected. For minor cases, your vet may recommend wound cleaning with or without sedation and dispense some antibiotics if infection is a concern.
