Dog Always Cutting Him Self

[day and night walker 233]

My terrier always gets cut when shes been in the cover which is not that often i think it is due to her being a larger type. to be honest i would much rather have a dog like yours mine will be 2 this jan and she is still not a reliable bushing dog. atb daywalker.

My Whirrier has scabbed ears, end of tail, and his keel (he's a deep chested large terrier size) is like leather from all the old scars. Means they're really trying, but as has been said, smaller dogs whizz through brambles with much less damage. Just remember to bung loads of Savlon or similar on his ears afterwards; helps to stop the 'crimping' effect after a few years of such damage. My old terriers ended up with curled ears due to scar tissue.

 

 

WHY savlon

 

Any antiseptic cream that keeps bacterial infections away will do. Dogs that are kennelled alone won't have a mate to lick their ears clean for them. I've found that they often make things worse by rubbing their heads or scratching their ears like mad as the scabs are healing: makes things worse and can cause infection. Germolene is another good one: contains local anaesthetic which soothes and stops dog scratching or rubbing.

He is always cuting round his eyes but the ear looks as if it has tared away from the head a little bit
