does anyone know a really good way of getting blood out of WHITE lol

my dog just had surgery a few weeks ago, and it didn't heal (they are redoing it on tuesday) but he has a lampshade type thing on his head, and somehow just now while i was getting alexis breakfast and tidying the dishes he managed to get it off and scratch his ear ALL OVER MY WHITE DUVET its now sitting in my bathtub in freezing cold water but i don't think that will work i swear to god it was like a friggin murder scene when i went into my room....i'm so angry right now if anyone knows any good ideas it would be much appreciated

Blood stains on fabric:

Soak in salted cold water, or warm detergent solution. Wash in the usual manner. Stubborn stains can be soaked in hydrogen peroxide solution (20 volume strength diluted 1 part to 4 parts water) plus a few drops of ammonia.

I'm guessing you have got to it almost straight away so a good soak & your hottest wash shoudl work!

yeah got to it maybe 5 minutes after....as soon as paco (my dog lol) came out with blood all over and his cone hanging around his neck lol geeky dog threw it right in the tub its still in there i just added some salt (regular or sea salt? i threw in regular lol) and peroxide and stain remover....will let it soak for another hour i think then wash it stupid blood lol

Cold water is definatley a good start, cold water breaks up blood cells making it easier to get out of fabrics.

awww yes he is ok lol i'm not heartless i made sure he was fine....AFTER i put my duvet in the tub lol no, seriously, i knew he was fine, his ear is "healing" supposedly...but according to the vet its not healing right (he had to get surgery he had a hematoma, a HUGE blood blister in his ear) it was really sad, but this was about a month ago and he's had weekly visits to the vet to check the healing...which its NOT healing... so he has to go back tomorrow to get the surgery redone...i don't think its bothering him very much, except its itchy (thats how his lamp shade came off from him trying to get to his ear to scratch it) but he is pretty good apart from that when i get home from work for his night time walk lol i run with him a bit...if you can imagine it looks pretty funny an 8 month pregnant girl running with a dog with a lampshade on lol....we only make it about a block and a half but its fun....so he still has his sense of fun...just hoping this surgery works and helps him heal...hes got a HUGE gash in his ear which was supposed to be healed up 2 weeks ago

he's my precious tho i love him so much...he was my only friend for awhile there...when i first moved here with my OH stupid town i live in lol
