    in Health and Medical discussion

    Posted

    Hi all been a while since i`ve been on GT ,just moved home, pepper has had a toe removed , it started a few weeks ago when pep tweaked his toe running damaged the nail, got infected, antibiotics, then off running again dislocated toe and snapped tendons, coupled with infection toe removal was the only option, on the plus side he has made a full recovery, and is back to his old self,now all i need to do is work out how to post pictures again and i will put some pics up of the boys .

    Hi ,all a few kind thoughts from the good folks on GT would be much appreciated.pepper has cut his foot,rear left, just below ankle joint,we did`nt take pep to vets,as it was a clean open wound,we are now bathing the wound,with salt warm salt water,to stop any infection,pep wont keep a dressing on and wants to lick the wound,we are giving pep probiotic yoghurt to try and boost peps immune system,any helpful tips and kind thoughts would be much appreciated.

    Looking at this photo, it ALMOST looks like bleeding under the skin. Do you think Pepper could have hit the inside of the leg? That would account for the sweling and the lameness.

     

    Hope Pepper heals soon!

    it does lool like bleeding under the skin,the confusing thing is pep is not lame,he is running around as normal,the leg looks a little stiff,when he climbs on the couch :unsure

    i am wondering if pep ran into something,upon the easthill where we take our early morning walk,and it is normally in the dark :unsure

    Fingers crossed that it's something that can be cleared up quickly. Do you have any idea what he grazed it on? I guess I'd feel reassured that there are signs of injury, rather than something internal acting up on its own. Sending good thoughts!

    no idea how he did it,could be something to do with the graze which looks insignificant. :unsure

    Puncture Wound...

    in Health and Medical discussion

    Its a tough one,that said having experienced puncture wounds with my hounds,i was told by the vet if the wounc is bigger than a fifty pence piece it would need looking at,also he said not keen on stitching dog bites, puncture wounds because of stitching the infection in (depending on the damage)

    all i can say is try and keep clean,discourage licking,and keep free of any hair,hope this is of some help :goodluck anitbiotics,would also help.
