Oh poor Megan how awful. Argh it does make you cross doesn't it.

Are you sure there's no glass left in the wound? That would be my worry and a call to the vet but if not and its stopped bleeding I'd leave well alone and just keep a close eye on her. Is it her lip that got cut?

Yes I think soft food is a good idea, poor poppet.

Hope she feels better soon.

Poor girl same advice as Maureen, keep an eye on it for infection Smile

Cant offer any real advice but I hope it all heals up nicely. See if you can bathe the area with salt water - that is what I did on Phoenix' ear when she got bitten, although much harder around the mouth area to do it.
