Yankee just be sure to clean your dog after every barn when coins den up for a few days there teeth build up bacteria and terriers are more out to get coon paralysis if your buddy's haven't warn you on that yet

I’ve been told saline spray right after the hunt to the mouth and any knicks etc. then kind of depends case by case obviously. I’ve heard of a solution for coon paralysis guy I go with has had 4 dogs get it and come through fine. Can’t say it’s 100% effective all the time obviously but so far it has been for him.

Good deal I keep you in mind if I need to try it

Do I’ll help out with that in any way. Keeping hydrated is the goal I know but I don’t recall all the details since I was trying to get all the info I could on everything at the time

I’ll check it out. The saline is nice because of the spraying action for cleaning out dirt etc. but it’s for light duty/general first step.

Varminator, do you hunt ground hog also or are more into coon?

Good thread this 

[Varminator 125]

I like to hunt anything but dogs tend to run on the big side to properly hunt hogs lets be productive Lloyd

Yes sir I'm not knocking your method just that I know saline doesn't have antibiotic properties like chlorhexidine, this is a pre surgery scrub that helps prevent infection..hope it helps..

Sanitiser not anti biotic i'm guessing.

Must be like hibiscrub?

Chlorhexidine has not antibiotics either 

It works much like an antibiotic is probably the way I should have worded my post.. it kills most bacteria before infection can set in..

Antiseptic is the word your looking for......
