Puppy wound ( warning ! )

[bilmo-p5]

There seem to be some right weird mixtures amongst the lurchers, and the parentage isn't always obvious in the offspring. I've no idea what mine is the product of as she came from the rescue kennels, bu the closest we've seen of known parentage was a border collie/ whippet cross. You could see the whippet influence but little else.

[Robbi]

LOL ! at Opal, your a bad man mate LOL !

 

[Opal]

Robbi, I'd pop along the same route, yer might find the cause and stop it happening to another animal.

hiya Filcon, she's young and fit mate, the vet reckoned 10 days would see her fine, the first 5 we have to keep her on the lead though.

got pain killers and antibiotics for the next week, back to the vets in 5 days for a check up, then another 5 day and get the staples out.

 

[Robbi]

i'll be back there tomorrow Opal, i'll defo have a good look around.

My Dog, a boxer, and by definition, mad as a box of frogs cost me well over a grand in vet bills in the first two years that i had him.
Deep gash in his fore-pad, Quarterising a cut vein in his mouth from a stick, stitches in his hind leg from running into a big rock, removal of some sort of growth, more stitches in his foreleg from a scrap, removal of a swallowed a golf ball, operation on both eyes because his eyelashes turned inwards, and eating £600 in cash from the dining room table when i was in the shower. Fortunately he grew out of it, but only after I had spent another small fortune on removing his nuts!!.

He is now insured!!

Its surprising how tough they are and how quickly the bounce back from injury.

Anyway hoping your pup recovers soon and stays out of trouble!

Poor bugger he eats £600 and you remove his nuts

feel for you mate, our wee one has been in and out of the vets from we got him, racks up the ££££££££££££££££'s, worth it though hes treated like a child

Probably caused by a broken bottle thrown into the grass. I sat on one once.

I shouldn't laugh...

My dog's always hurting himself but won't make a fuss unless it's kind of serious.

Hi Robbi did you find out what caused the dogs wound.

My Pit Bull winds up with random cuts like that quite often, unexplained. He's so active he runs full speed around our house when there's cattle or horses in the street and gets himself all ripped up. Our Rottweiler had some serious gashes on her snout a while back. I thought she had gotten into it with the Pit Bull, but that was odd because they wrestle all the time and just get soggy with dog spit. Then I actually watched our little Fox Terrier lay into the Rotty and put her into full submission and there was no hint of play involved, she was dead serious. I went to check and sure enough there was a brand new gash on her snout.

The best I can do is "child proof" our property for the Pit Bull. Now that the dogs (we have 6) have established their pecking order the dominant/submissive conflicts get resolved peacefully. It really is something to see a 110 lb Rottweiler go belly up for a 15 lb Terrier. Mac

hi Phil,

went and had a look around but nothing obvious in the long grass or on the beach, i reckon it must have been a sharp rock as she runs over them chasing the hooded crows and seagulls.

she started chewing at the staples and managed to get 4 of them out, thankfully the wound is healing really well. We've put a tee shirt on her now so she can't get to the staples....does look funny but seems to work.
