Dogs Working In Water

[andy26 618]

Hi av had a couple of digs this season at the same dog when broke thro he's been working in dirty water which he is getting really bad infections off just wondered if anyone has had the same problem an what you used to clear it up thanks atb

I'd some dogs working in water, several times.

Each time with coypus, sometimes on fox, and very rare on badger (in France). Badger don't like water.

But it was always in forest or farm land, water was never dirty. Just a shower.

On both occasions the earth's were dirty wet an the dog an quarry in a poodle of it

Be more thorough cleaning up ..hot bath using hibuscrub. .

bet that hert the poor old poodle lol if the dog has infected cuts then antibiotic is the cure amoxicillin should do it if not infected treat as above post tells you Edited March 24, 2015 by leethedog

If you take stuff to clean your dogs straight away with you when you're out , then this should help cut down on infections & the dogs should heal quicker . jmo

Hibiscrub and penicillin are the job

My dogs see a bit of working round water controlling coypu which dont have the canine teeth and power of bite of other quarry, but instead have a chisel edge rodent style ivorys. Disclaimer: Only keep baying dogs that stay 4 foot away from the sharp end, therefore never get bitten )

 

However a guy down the pub told me.....

 

Salt water is good and convenient.

 

Another product is hydroygen peroxide, youll get it in the chemists, and maybe in supermarkets, just dab it on, I am told you can overuse it on the same wound though as it sears the flesh lightly.

 

Also heard for wounds that need stapling, you shouldnt use hydrogen peroxide, BUT 2 weeks ago I was up the the A&E with a split head and had 7 staples put in, they cleaned the wound up with a guaze pad soaked in hydrogen peroxide that I had to hole on my head for 10 minutes... reminds me I should get an appointment to get the staples out, should of come out last week.

 

Hibiscrub and betadine also very good for cleaning wounds.

we have a bag with all the gear in for a temp clean down until we get home but on both times this has happened it's been the first dig of the day so he's left in the box all day with out a full clean up so that might have something to do with it as well iv done nothing different from any other weekend an it's only the time he's worked in water this has happened atb

This is likely your issue - amoxicillin are not a cure all and need to be given over an extended period of time
