hydrogen peroxide kills skin tissue , don't continuiously clean with h202. use saline or just water with some disenfectant like diluted betadine scrub. then place your ointment on., don't forget your antibiotic

If it is not bleeding badly I just pour Hydrogen Peroxide on it to keep it clean. Goats use their ears and horns for A/C. We have a few that have torn their ear tags off and leave holes but it does not bother them. I think you have done the right things.

I would get the stitches if it is needed. Also watch the goat for shock.

Took my billies to a friends house to seperate from my nannies, and his goat dog bit a large hole over one billies ear. I boiled out with peroxide, and put some triple antibiotic ointment on it,and gave it some nuflor. Any advice i think it needs stithes.
