Title: need advise Post by: jon on November 09, 2012, 03:33:02 pm my cd took a pretty good beating sunday, i have his two major cuts under control but yesterday i noticed hes got some swelling in his jaw area, i opened his mouth and noticed one of his bottom canies is broken. not sure if that happened sunday or not. he does have some small pokes here in there on that side of his face but nothing bad at all has had worse from barbed wire and i've been keeping up with cleaning them. my question is what can i do to make the swelling go down? or is it something i just gotta ride out?

Title: Re: need advise Post by: jmize on November 11, 2012, 02:53:03 pm The face/neck area is really prone to swell and retain fluid. If the dog has any punctures on its neck or face that knot up really bad Id take it to a vet and let him drain it.
