Title: Need advise Post by: bullrider11 on June 29, 2012, 02:25:57 pm One of my dogs got cut up Sunday night so I stapled it. It was staying together good until this morning I went to go check on him and he had busted it back open should I try to resew it or just let it try to heal it's mainly a hide cut but it's across it's chest vertical cut about 11 inches long thanks
Title: Re: Need advise Post by: RyanTBH on June 29, 2012, 02:38:36 pm I'd have to say that if the cut is 11 inches, and he/she is still bleeding it would be time to take them to the vet... if it is just a flesh wound, then that might not be needed, but the dogs also needs to be on antibiotics if the cut is that bad... I would also do hydrotherapy. That works like a champ! Good luck with all that.

Title: Re: Need advise Post by: SouthernInferno on June 29, 2012, 04:30:41 pm cephellexin for about 10 days. Keep it clean and wonder dust it. Be on its way to healing up quick. Can order cephellexin as fish flex without a prescription. Much stronger broad spectrum antibiotic than penn. Works well for UTIs also.
