Sounds a sore one Gem.how long till it was back to normal after the muscle tear?mine isn't that bad and thankfully it was just his skin but he's my first dog and I'm new to this injury buisness.
-
Cheers for the advice mate.defo invest in a skin stapler.the gash on his chest had opened up by the next day and ive just left that to heal on its own.that wound is also clean but it's formed a wee bit of a lump now.its scabbed over now,I'll just keep it clean and I imagine it'll go down
-
Superglue is exactly what I've used mate.thought it might have needed a fair few stitches but ive managed to hold it with the superglue and it looks as though its healing well. Cheers zandy,that a a good shout.think I might just get one of those.been keeping it clean by using an antiseptic spray.poor wee fella had to miss a good day on Sunday aswell lol

Sorry to hear that.never nice that mate! Bart sounds like there was something else up as 6 isn't that old for a ferret,I have a Jill here and she' is coming on 10 and this is her first winter she will not be ferreting.she finnally looking a bit past it,and lost a big tooth.that'll be her in full retirement.she can now see out the rest of her days in a warm hutch with plenty grub. atb

Cheers lads!i managed to get it closed.it looks like its healing well,hopefully have him back to normal soon.very much doubt it'll be the last time he's needing patched up:-/

He's on the mend,hopefully have him back out soon enough. He's not exactly suited for the most of the ground but I'll need to make do for the time being but he loves it anyway and there's no stopping him

Was out for a walk today with the ferrets but not much about but my young whippet was enjoying himself none the less,managed to find and lift the only rabbit we seen all afternoon,the rabbit headed right under a fence and the dog jump it but clipped the barbed wire on the top,never thought much of it until he returned,the whole under side of him was covered in blood.closer look revealed a big gash on his chest,few deep scratches,thought that was it until I noticed just inside his back right leg it's ripped about a 3inch hole in his skin.when streched right out you could see right inside his le

Headed out for a wee while last night.sky was clear but wind was up so thought bugger it.went to a local golf course,there was'nt much about,with the exception of a fair few hares.most rabbits I saw were too close to home.only managed one slip here,dog struck but missed and the rabbit was away.since the dog only had one run when I got back to the car I decided to give some playing fields near by a shot.really glad I had a look,plenty here to be had over the winter. First slip here the dog had his first rabbit!well chuffed.walked on a little bit and slipped him again,had a good run with this on

Took the dog out for a walk this afternoon just in the woods two minutes from the house,walking round he lifts a rabbit from the cover gives a good chase but it gets down a hole.I could see the dog marking the hole and when I walked over he was basically trying to dig the wee bigger out.had a wee scan about and it was just a cheeky wee two holer so since the ferrets were due feeding and I was so close to the house I decided to nip back,grab a couple nets and one of my jills.was back in no time,nets down ferret in,and with the dog closely watching the two nets,wee rumble and the dog bagged the

Ive had this problem before,an older hob in with two young hobs.they all seemed to eat fine but if you kept a close eye on them I noticed the older one would get full and go for a sleep,while the young ones would still be bouncing about and tucking into more food.basically competion for food was high and the older ferret lost out.moved him into a hutch with and old Jill and and now he lives the quiet life getting to eat when he wants and nobody bothering him.the weight came back on no problem

Cheers lads.aye am pretty sure he'll pick it it no probs.been ferreting for years,this is my first dog tho .well and truly got the bug lol

Couldn't wait any longer so on wed night the weather was not to bad so had the dog out for his first time lamping at 20months.was out quite early about 10ish so wasn't expecting that many rabbits to be about,but to be honest just wanted the dog to get out show him the beam and maybe 4/5 slips.was only out for just over an hour and only gave the dog two slips cos I was trying to pick them carefully and give him the best chance.first slip started like a dream,the rabbit was a fair bit away but when I flicked the lamp on the dog clocked it straight away at the end of the beam so I slipped him and

Exact thing happened to my whippet.one hadn't dropped and got him the chop at 11 months.did not affect him in the slightest.will still chase every thing that moves.vet said price goes by weight of the dog.£115

Aye,think I'll wait till its good gaffer.desprate to get out tho.plenty rain over the weekend aswell.

Well finally two and a half weeks after I ordered my lamp the battery pack is now here(had to send the first one back as it was faulty) it's now on charge and I'm choking to get out with the dog.question is though,do I wait for the perfect night?or just head out first chance I get?(thats what I'm thinking)lol.bearing in mind this will be the little dogs first ever night on the lamp?
