Title: cut foot Post by: Georgia-Hawgs on February 12, 2016, 04:58:11 pm I noticed my best dog was limping around today. He's usually real high strung on the chain when im outside. Went over there and say he's got a deep cut on the top of his front foot. Its pretty deep. How long will it take to heal in this area and is there anything I can do to speed up the process. This is my best dog and im supposed to have a big hunt this month. Don't want him to be out of the game that long if I can help it.

Title: Re: Post by: hyan on February 12, 2016, 06:50:12 pm Clean it up real good and put some skin glue on it to keep the wound closed they use it when the skin gets to dry to stitch up wounds you can find it on Google

I thought hydrotherapy was to let the dog swim. And hyan I have some stuff called nu-skin or something like that, I used it on my forehead when I layed it open at work. I should have got some stitches but I got the bleeding to stop and it held it together pretty good. It was like super glue. Real strong smelling and burned like a son of a gun. Is this what your talking about?
Title: Re: cut foot Post by: Mike on February 12, 2016, 07:18:37 pm Yes, flush it with a water hose for several minutes... best medicine there is for deep cuts. It flushes the dead tissue away and heals from the inside out... my vet showed me that a long time ago on a horse we had.
Title: Re: Post by: Fixitlouie on February 12, 2016, 10:17:23 pm Like mike said. When you flush with water just let it run over it. Don't force or put any more pressure on the wound than what comes out of the hose. It will heal from the inside out.

Title: Re: Post by: justincorbell on February 20, 2016, 09:01:12 pm I also agree with hydrotheraphy. When my dogs get cut (pretty often, they are idiots
