If a dog’s nerves are bitten, it may show lameness, seizures, or paralysis; if the eye nerves are bitten, it may even go blind. Nerve damage is hard to recover on its own, so prompt veterinary treatment is needed. The vet usually uses mecobalamin, vitamin B, vitamin E, and calcium tablets to promote nerve recovery. If possible, combine with acupuncture, massage, hot compresses, or electrotherapy to stimulate the nerves.

In addition, if there is an external wound, clean it in time and use pain-relief and anti-inflammatory medication to control infection.
