Title: Re: Torn ears on hogs Post by: Purebreedcolt on July 15, 2010, 04:58:12 pm Treat it just like u would a cut dog. But they sure don't like it. If in a pen rig a push pole and give him antibiotics. Works but is a pain and u have to be quick with that pole

Title: Re: Torn ears on hogs Post by: levibarcus on July 15, 2010, 06:42:56 pm I usually keep them in the stock trailer for a few days, maybe that is the problem since they can't get in the mud and keep the flies off. I know they don't all die when you turn them back loose. I should build a hog pen with a dirt floor.

Title: Re: Torn ears on hogs Post by: Noah on July 16, 2010, 09:20:36 pm Man, I lost a lot of hogs because of this...
Fought hogs tryin' to doctor them and still had trouble... Finally tried a can of "wasp spray".... the stuff that shoots 20 or so feet... Haven't had any die since.... AND I don't even got to get in the pen!!!! ;D But I agree, if a hog can get to mud, they won't have any problems Title: Re: Torn ears on hogs Post by: hogdoggintexas on July 16, 2010, 09:22:39 pm Good ole PURPLE SPRAY>>>itll fix anything X2 Title: Re: Torn ears on hogs Post by: cward on July 16, 2010, 09:36:24 pm Give em access to a good mud hole. ;) I agree with this!!But I don't like a dog that chews one up!But under stand it happens!!

Title: Re: Torn ears on hogs Post by: goose on July 18, 2010, 10:04:13 am when we used to have our catchdog competitions we would have them once a month and the sunday afterwards we would catch all the hogs and doctor them...we would put diesel and turpentine in a pump sprayer and spray them down good and put furazone on them and juice them up with sum antibiotics turn them back loose in the holding pen and would just have a pole drove in the ground or a tree and nail old carpet or burlap to them and soak them in burnt motor oil and let them rub it down...i mean we had close to 75 hogs in that pen so we had to always keep replacing he oil...we just went to a mechanic shop and dropped off a few five gallon buckets with lids and gave him like 5 dollars abucket and he was more than willing to fill up the buckets up and get rid of the oil...hope this helps yall out
