Lab 10,979 Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 once the wound dont get infected the dog should make a full recovery. my whippet had a bad accident and needed 2 operations,some of the skin died and was left with a big open wound but in time it healed and he is working now even though the skin is a bit tight on that side of his body. here a few pics. pic after first operation. you can see all the dead skin on him. pic after second operation. this what was left and this wound had to close on its own. this is him now. Jesus...... Did it fall in beside a shark..........? Quote Link to post
supersam 64 Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 no barbed wire mate. im just trying to show a dog even after a bad accident it can heal. plenty antibiotics and keep the wound clean. also i had antisiptic cream spread over the wound and when the wound closed then it was kept moisturized for a few months. your whippet will be fine paddy it will just take time to heal. my fella was fully healed about 6 months after the accident. best of luck with your fella. regards SS 2 Quote Link to post

blan89 159 Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 theres some bad injuries on here,its all down to irresponsibility imo ive got aggressive dogs,i just walk them on lead where there wont be many people and if another uncontrolled dog runs over mine are all small enough to pick up while i give the uncontrolled mutt a gentle tap to deter it. never had an accident yet,and if i ever do it will be because the uncontrolled dog jumped up at me and my dog gets hold of it,which is imo on the other owner.
