Dont you just love working dogs!!!! until they come a cropper


Recommended Posts

Was out feeding around the shoot boundries earlier and decided to take sagar my 13 month old whippet pup along. There's nothing much around the boundries as the birds are still in and around the pens. The little bugger flushed something he really shouldn't have even thought about chasing as it was twice his size. I'll give him his due though he never let go even though he had a 11/2" rip to his neck and a torn ear. Bloody blood everywhere from the ear, got him home and the first thing he did was have a shake in the kitchen took me 1/2 hr to clean the blooly walls and units. All sorted now skin glued the ear and stapled his neck, antibiotics and a dressing. Although he's not impressed about the dressing...

Do you give your dog antibiotics every time it cuts itself?

 

Sounds like a bite from charlie not a cut, could easily get infected!

 

Hope the dog makes a swift recovery mate

 

Charlie? Twice the size of a 13 month whippet? That's either a pretty big red coat, or a midget whippet.

It wasn't a charlie lads but it did have some serious head gear on him and k9's like fecking razors and the bast**d caught me on the hand when i did the deed. It wasn't just his ear it also caught his neck which i've stapled. I have washed it with hibi scrub and stapled it, he's had a jab of anti biotics and a dose of metacam. He's eaten up tonight which is a good sign and he's his usual self. he's kept in the house so i'll keep a close eye on him.

 

I don't use anti biotics that often only if they get a nip off anything and thats only if it looks liek it's going the wrong way. too many people use the anti boitics too often in my opinion.
