My old bitch has only been at vets twice.. Bad skin rip and a thorn in its eye...

 

Had a younger dog at vets evey month, different metalities and running style..

 

A dog getting knocked up every trips no good to me

[Tyla 3,179]

I disagree, if this was the injury posted previously it is a b*****d of a place, not talking about a grazed or sliced stopper pad but the skin below it which is under extreme tension and prone to rupture through the scar. Getting it stitched is a good idea, somethings need a vet and some dont, I do most stuff myself but dont hesitate to go to the vet when its warranted.

had a we beddy greyhound good we bitch caught plenty of everything not once had it at the vets for injurys in the field yet had other dogs as you say all they had to do was look at a fence trip to the vets nothing worse

this was it, and everytime she put her foot on the floor it strains on the cut therefore it wasnt getting a chance to heal and close properly so at the end of the day i'd rather have got it stitched up and sorted now then give it time for infection to set in or get worse, other people may have different opinions on their own dogs but when it comes to mine, no matter what happens money is far below the priority of my dogs well being and i'll do what i think is right in sorting that (didnt want that to come across sh*tty sorry if it did lol)

My bitch done both of hers in that exact same spot , didn't get it stitched kinda wished I had tho , I just rested her for two weeks , kept wrapping it when I ran her , takes a fukcing long time to heal fully !! When it's all dry and healed put surgical spirit on the scar to toughen it up a bit , when my bitch did it tho both her legs were fizzing and swole pretty bad , hope the dogs ok mate

Correct me if am wrong, I've done a lot of butchering and had a deep nasty cut to my hand once, I used superglue to seal it. Could you use this on a dogs pad??? I know they use it at hospital for cuts

you can but the stuff they use is surgical super glue

I used to carry superglue in my med pack when in the army, might have to look up this surgical glue. I used plain old stuff on a 4 inch long 1/2inch deep on my hand and its barely scared

[leegreen 2,254]

yeah well was mums decision really to get her to the vets but in all honesty it was quite a deep cut and i'd rather not take the risk even though i was cleaning it, so put her in the vets this morning at 9:50 and just got her back about 20mins ago, she had a couple of stitches and is a bit drowzy, should be off in 10days so slowly get her back into things once she's back to health

And with all the advice you were given.

 

And your "Mum's decision." Did she pay for it?

 

Well, I would of kept that to myself.

 

Does your Mum give you a lift lamping.

 

 

If you ever want advice again, go ask your Mum.

Your gonna have alot worse than a cut stopper pad if its getting plenty of graft mate. And unless your made of money or got insurance you can't be going the vets every week.

 

My bitch is starting to look like a patchwork quilt. Lol.

Think that depends what you run

no matter what you run , if your dogs any good it will take knocks and get cut

back leg cut into the muscle running a rabbit

how do work that one out so what your saying if your dog doesnt get injured its no good lol

no what im saying if your dog dont get injured in some way ,sometime or other its not trying hard enough

or not using it brain enough

[FUJI 17,729]

I think what leegreen is getting at is that the lad came on here and asked for advice. Had some good replies. Then took his mums advice. Lol.

[leegreen 2,254]

Good luck with the dog.

 

By the way, I've got a problem with a side channel air pump with a 3 phase motor. Can you ask your Ma what make of inverter should I use?
