EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

i have a dog that got his saphenous  hind leg ankle vein    cut today  he bleed out  got to him  in time to tie it off bleeding has stopped hes been eating an drinking gums are getting color again he looks fine just worried if he needs to see a vet so he will hunt another day with 4 legs our will it  just heal fine only reason im asking there is no cheap or good vets around  thanks

You can buy a couple of pounds of raw beef liver and give a chunk of it every day after he is fed his regular ration...don't hunt him for a couple of weeks or it can open up and he could possibly bleed out...

I been down that road before...the dog made it but it was close...he had bled out bad enough that he was going in to shock...

X2 on the liver n it wouldnt hurt to add a can of sardies too

thanks all for the info my main concern is that vein will it heal with no affects in is ability to run the same. thanks again

 if its not severed to far from the other end, it should reconnect its self. the main concern would be an artery. if not already done, close the wound up as close as u can n leave a drain hole and the vein didnt retract to far it will reconnect.

He'll do fine with one vein tied off, the blood flow will be handled by all the veins runnin up the leg. Saphenois is harvested all the time in people, for coronary bypasses, femoral- popliteal bypasses, etc

feed iron and give b-12 to make him want to eat more and pep him up.
beef,deer liver like said above

Give him red cell and rooster booster !!

once again thanks for the info every one. after getting the vein to stop bleeding last night for around 3 hours it popped  again  got  the bleeding under control  an got him to the vet  his saphenous vein was severed         i think m bennet here knows my  hunting partner         mohogger  from missouri
