Barbed Wire!!!

[Gaz_1989 9,539]

I hate the stuff with a passion.

 

First decent night out on the lamp this year, then she came back from a run with this...

Ouch.

not too bad mate ,..........if it will pull together i would whack a half dozen staples in it , make sure you clean out first

It looks worse than it probably is. follow whippet 99's advice and it should be ok soon.

Barbed wire's an occupational hazard I'm afraid. I've lost count of the injuries my Dogs have suffered on wire over the years, and I've had two killed on it. I hate the stuff.

Ouch that'll be sore Hope she's back running soon

I think that's the case mate. Looks pretty bad but in reality it's not bleeding and is just the skin.

 

I'm keeping it clean with salt water and iodine and have been told to put Manuka honey on it. Bathe daily and reapply honey.

 

I think it's too late to stitch. The skin won't pull together now.

 

Cheers

if kept clean it will heal fine but will leave a bigger scar than if you had stapled it

Any idea what a vet will charge to sort now?

 

Ball park figure to the nearest £100 say?

depends on the vets, this one cost me just under £300 but the muscle required stitching aswell.
