I love the way his ears look like they're flopping in the breeze, like a dog with his head out the window! Pure joy!!

He should do just fine. I am a wound care nurse and treat a great deal of serious stab wounds, road rash-type wounds, post op surgical wounds (staples and sutures), staph infections... etc. I'll give you directions for cleansing, treating, and bandaging any wound. Here goes: you will need some small disposable paper or plastic cups, a bottle of hydrogen peroxide, a bottle of sterile water, antibacterial liquid hand soap, disposable exam gloves, 2" wide roll of kling, triple antibiotic ointment like Neosporin, sterile Q-tips or wooden Cotton tipped applicators, sterile 2" X 2" cotton gauze ( you can purchase all these supplies at a CVS/ Walgreens or other pharmacy) injectable penicillin, 3ml syringe with appropriate size needle. To start with, you need to give him some penicillin to help with fighting/ preventing further infection. Read the insert for appropriate dose, frequency, and duration of treatment. Then you need to wash and scrub the wound with warm antibacterial soapy water solution (you can use a new cheap tooth brush). Then rinse and dry thoroughly. Next, in one of the disposable cups mix 1/2 sterile water with 1/2 hydrogen peroxide. In the other cup, fill with sterile water. Dip the sterile gauze in the peroxide solution and place the gauze against the ear wound or dip the whole ear in the peroxide solution and let it soak for a minute or 2. Then, pour the sterile water over the wound to rinse the peroxide solution off the ear. Dry the ear thoroughly with some of the sterile gauze. If the wound is oozing any yellow, green, or brown fluid, apply sterile gauze soaked with sterile water over the wound and then wrap the ear with the 2" wide gauze and secure with medical tape (repeat twice daily, morning and evening until fresh tissue starts to form and oozing stops). If the wound is not oozing any green, brown, or yellow stuff, clean it as per above directions, apply the neosporin with a sterile Q-tip, cover with a dry sterile 2" X 2" gauze, and wrap with 2" wide gauze with tape to secure (repeat twice daily until healed). Always wear the exam gloves throughout the entire process and change to a new pair of gloves between cleaning the wound and doing either the wet gauze or applying the neosporin. If you need any further info or want me to talk you through it, visit my website for my phone #. Good luck!
