mat p 0 Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 ive just noticed my lurcher as ripped a 3 inch hole on his inside leg it looks like a barb wire tear thing is for the size of the cut you would expect him to be holding that leg up or show some discomfort because its a mess but nothing no blood no limp not even a wimper when i cleaned it up and checked it over! poor boy sufferd in silence hes probably glad another inch to the right and it would have been good bye to his manhood. looks like a lenghty lay off till its [bANNED TEXT].

luke. 9 Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Nothing to worry about mate aslong as you keep it clean, I have used TCP in the past mate, it may hurt the dog a little but it stops infection and speeds up the process, ATB. Luke. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
