Guest JudiK Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Oh yea: muzzle rub + moleskin = no muzzle rub I used to figure skate (2 or 3 lifetimes ago) - and we used moleskin everywhere the skates rubbed. Moleskin is like artificial suede with a sticky back. Drug stores should have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest crazy4greys Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 His wound doesn't look that bad. From what you said about the jugular being so close, it shouldn't matter if he has a scar. What matters is that he is alive. It could have been much worse! I had a foster grey who had a massive scar on her side (see picture below) from her siblings beating up on her and one woman actually passed on her because of the way she looked. Serena had a wonderful personality and that is what matters, not what she looked like. I hope he feels better soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ohiogreymom Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I second the moleskin, or you can use weather strip. Robin, please consider muzzling ALL of them, rather than just one. The dogs know the muzzles prevent biting, and they WILL take advantage if someone else is muzzled, and they're not. My dogs are muzzled when I'm gone, even though my daughter is home. I don't want her to have to get between them if there's a problem. These dogs are used to muzzles, and with them being padded for comfort, they can be the lesser of 2evils,iykwim? They can still drink and play with stuffies, but hopefully will prevent a tragedy. A small price to pay! IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MomoftheFuzzy Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Whew, Robin, you and DH and Beau are such troupers. All of you. How tough to go through all of this. First, I will say I'm so glad Beau is home! And I'm keeping him in my thoughts during the healing process. The second thing I will say is that, as horrific as Beau's wounds are, I must say, they have been closed up quite well. I think that's a positive step in terms of Beau having a speedy recovery. I've seen wounds that were hardly able to be closed up, either due to the size of the wound, the lack of skin available or both. Nevertheless, the wounds look so painful. Poor little guy. I'm so sorry again that this happened. Beau is very fortunate to have a family like you to support him through this painful period. Best of luck.

maximum Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 So glad Beau is home - everyone will feel better now! It'm sure it must be very upsetting that one of your babies hurt the other, but I would agree that all dogs need to be muzzled - one would be defenseless from the others.

fourofem Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 UPDATE- Call from vet, going to sedate him now, stitch him up. One side, not bad, however the other...just missed the jugular. I can not believe this. They will let me know how bad and if he needs drains. They know I want him home ASAP but if he needs the drains, he will have to stay. I haven't seen it yet. DH took pictures. I'm afraid to see. Does their hair grow back after one of these incidents? My Stella and Lewis have been on the same end as Beau on several occasions. Other than the one on Stel's face (she's a red and white but mostly white and Lewis is a brindle), their hair has grown back and you would never know anything happened. As long as they heal well, scars and hair don't bother me much. I hope he heals up and is feeling better soon!!!

RobinM Posted February 1, 2008 Author Share Posted February 1, 2008 Batmom- we are all OK. Beau's personality is shining through, although he is a little more sedate than normal. He IS the party here. Without Beau, it's a flatline. We are modifying the room situation so that everyone is safe and happy. (we thought it was OK but apparently Beau used the bed as a trampoline and wound up in teddy's space when he was eating his Kong). We are no longer leaving kongs. It's a bit of an adjustment. Today when DH left, he heard Teddy carrying on crying. Normally, he is working on a kong. I am also in the process of getting a behaviorist for Teddy. It's time. Im just reading this... How is Beau acting around Teddy? Hope there is some normalcy in the house. No difference at all. What he's thinking to himself... is probably something completely different. Teddy of course is curious about the boo boos but so are the other 3. Beau is a lover, not a fighter.

Guest brandi007 Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Wow, your vet did an awesome job! Sending lots of love to Beau, and don't worry about scarring - my little Hannah Banana has some scarring on her face. I'm thinking she was probably picked on by her litter mates as she is very small and has a lot of fear aggression with other dogs. I think her scars make her look tougher, scars are nothing - just more little bald patches to kiss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinM Posted February 1, 2008 Author Share Posted February 1, 2008 He is coming around. He just shared some of my frozen lowfat yogert. It just doesn't taste the same for me without all the extra spit in it As far as the scarring, I wasn't concerned per say, it more of a question, since fortunately this was the 1st (and last time as far as I'm concerned) it's happened. Beau happens to have thick lush hair. I expect it to grow back around the scarrs. Whatever will be, will be. Beau is safe and well and that's the bottom line.

Guest DoofBert Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 UPDATE- Does their hair grow back after one of these incidents?
