HELP ! bitten ear - advice please.

R & R by the river

Warren Scout
Molly has given Polly a nasty bit on the ear.

Polly is fine in herself, although there is still a little bleeding.

Unfortunately it is a bank holiday and the vets are on 'emergency only' service.

Should we make an emergency call ?

Do you think Petplan will cover the cost?
 
Petplan should cover it but you wil have to pay the excess on your policy.I would see a vet because while she may be fine in herself, the ear could get infected, so its best to make sure its clean and it could need stitches.
 
Not our usual vet, but he seems ok.

He didn't want to suture it as he said it might break down , and the end result would then be worse than just leaving it.

He says to wipe it with a teaspoonfull of salt disolved in a pint of warm water a couple of times a day - which shouldn't be a problem as Polly likes having her ears played with.

Thanks for your support.
