Mumscats Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 My elderly girl has a tumour of some sort in her mouth and it has been bleeding a bit lately. I am dealing with that tomorrow but her front legs have dried up blood on the fur. Does anyone know how I can easily clean this off I have tried just like Velvet soap and warm water but it is not working. I would appreciate any ideas thank you.

Greytmate Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Makeup remover wipes or baby wipes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life Of Riley Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Malaseb Shampoo has always worked for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowenhart Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Blood can stain. I use shampoo and warm water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirty Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 We use baby shampoo diluted in water 1:9. Soak a face washer in the solution and hold it on the area for a few minutes to soften the blood. Then wipe it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erny Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) She has a bleeding tumour in her mouth. I wouldn't use anything caustic on the fur on her front legs to remove the blood as she might then lick it and that would have to be nasty if not at the least painful for her mouth. I'd just do the best I could with warm water and perhaps a little bit of velvet pure soap (rinsed off), if I was really worried about the stain.

Guest Ams Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 If we wash blood stained clothing in warm water it sets the stain so wouldn't it do the same on fur? Cold water and some gentle shampoo may work but if the stain is already set it won't come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erny Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Yeah - wasn't really thinking of the blood stain so much as the dog. Tepid to cool water. But I'd avoid the caustic treatment. The hair will eventually moult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
becks Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 you could try some warm salty water and then a wash with dilute shampoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
