Saw a stray dog in the alley last night with a bad scrape. Any quick ways to clean it up without pulling it into a clinic?

Hey, that’s rough. If you can approach it slowly and keep it calm, rinse the scrape with warm water and a mild soap, then gently pat it dry. If you have a clean bandage or gauze, you can loosely cover it—just make sure it’s not tight. Watch for swelling or signs of infection over the next few days. If you can, try to get the dog to a shelter or vet for a check‑up, but for now just keep it clean and calm.

Thanks, that should keep it from getting worse. I'll keep an eye on it and move it when it’s safe.

That sounds like a good plan. Just keep it comfortable and keep an eye on the scrape. If anything looks off, a quick vet visit is the safest bet. Stay gentle with it—most animals appreciate calm hands. Good luck!
