Bite In Mouth Infected?!

[Amy Barton]

I have already posted a thread about this but I have taken i picture of the wound as I'm extremely worried about it getting infected because of where it is. Sorry the pictures are are a bit blurry but as you can see her lip is swollen the wound has scabbed over but it was quite deep. I'm about to clean of with a bit of sea salt and boiled water but was wondering how much water and how much salt should I use?

I'd say about a teaspoon in a pint of water.

If it is infected salt water won't help much, you'll need antibiotics to kill the infection.

If it looks red, feels warmer or smells then it's a sign of infection.

Thankyou, it only happened yesterday and isn't infected yet I am just trying to do everything to avoid infection as she has only just come off antibiotics last week and she has had quiet a stressful few weeks

How is she now

Her cut seems to be heeling well and she doesn't seem to be to stressed so I'm hoping she's going to be okay.
