[nagdu] Small injury

[Raven Tolliver]

I would spritz 50/50 apple cider vinegar and water on the wound. That
is my solution for all wounds because it is phenomenal at healing
things quickly and without infection.

One time, my dog somehow bashed his nose open, there was a 1 inch by
1.5 inch section of skin gone on the top of his nose. Must have done
it rolling around on the carpet and banged his nose on one of our cast
iron chairs. Anyway, after I got the bleeding to stop, I applied 50/50
acv and water to the wound every couple hours until it scabbed over.
He would occasionally rub it on the floor because it was irritated,
but I would make him stop and clean it again, then gently rub at it
with a dry paper towel and some coconut oil to ease the itchiness.  It
healed up within 1.5 weeks. And the hair grew back in under a month.
