My dog has a cut on her mouth. What can I put on it safely at home?

Question

I accidentally kicked my yorkie in the mouth as she was about to jump off the bed. Now she has a slight cut on the upper corner crease of her mouth. What can I put on it that won't harm her? Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Female | spayed | 5 years and 11 months old | 22 lbs

I wouldn't recommend any topical medications around the mouth. If she seems comfortable and her teeth all seem okay, it's probably okay to monitor the laceration. The mouth tends to heal quickly. If she seems painful or you start to notice yellow, green or foul smelling discharge from the wound make an appointment with your veterinarian.
