How To Keep Dogs and Cats From Fighting

Give the cat her own safe area to escape to when she needs it and keep her food bowl and litter box in a separate area from the dog. It might be a good idea to keep it permanently blocked from the dog by a baby gate or door.

..:::How To Pet

All you need to do is make sure your dog is not licking her wound too much this could loosen the stitches if any(a lot of vets now a days are using surgical glue which makes it easier to heal because the animal cannot pull at the stitches)and cause the wound to reopen and need to be re-stitched.

Also you need to check occasionally for infection of the wound make sure it is kept clean. To Keep it clean and free from infection you can use a Q-Tip and some Peroxide to clean the wound, just carefully dab the wound with the Q-Tip and peroxide.

That is really all you need to do just use your eyes and pay attention to the wound until it is healed.
