I don't suggest doing this. You would be better off bandaging them until you can get to to a vet. The reasons are many. One is you may not be able to stop bleeding and you will be sewing up a wound that has a small artery that needs to be cauterized. Another is proper preparation of the area, e.g. shaving. Of course having an assistant and anesthesia are even more reasons.
The animal is not going to understand what you are doing and will resist. Simply put, this is a job for a pro. I'm sure you are capable of stabilizing the wound and the animal. My advice would be to be content with that until you can get help.
