Had it happen to a catchdog during tournament weekend.  We put everything back in and washed it all with saline solution and water.  Sutured the sack back together with a small opening at the top and bottom for water to enter and drain.  He was given Penicillin for 3 days (3cc, 2cc, 1cc) as well as a Penicillin drip directly into the wound, and flushed with running water twice a day everyday for two weeks.  The dog was good catching hogs again in 4-5 weeks, it was amazing how quickly he healed.  

The testicles did swell quite a bit but that was to be expected.  If they look infected in any way I would get him to a vet immediately, I agree with the others that an infection in that area is nothing to mess with.
