If it is a poke, DO NOT CLOSE IT UP. If you do there is a possibility that the outside will heal first leaving a pocket that can get infected and you have no way to get in and clean it up.
A trick I use to help keep a dog still: you need a double lead (two snaps on one end) with another clip on the back of the lead. Clip one snap to the dog, the other to a fence. Get the dog to stand parrallel to the fence and run the lead from his neck down his outside shoulder and under his body. You can pull the lead fairly tight and clip the back snap to the fence behind the dog. It is kind of a make-shift squeeze shoot. If that doesnt make sense let me know and I will shoot you a pic when I get home.
Thanks TX CUR im gonna try that when i get home.
Another question for ya'll i put a couple staples on the bottom wound but left a good bit open to allow to drain, should i remove those two staples and just let it open up fully or will leaving the drain be ok?
