Help I have a pet alpine who has managed to tear both his ear tags, the vet says to just cut them off with a knife (the tags not the ears) and scrub the wounds with a medicated scrub. Not sure about this? he also has an eye infection, yes he has been in the wars this week. He has eye drops and I will bathe with a saline, but clearly he is not a happy soul. What is the best way to remove the tags? and would the violet spray be better once the holes are clean?
