My main strike dog and my (ex) catch dog got in a fight while I was at workk! The catch dog tore up my strike dog Pretty bad ! He chewed his legs up pretty bad nothing is broke just a bunch of puncture wounds ! What should I do about it I know he hurting bad? They starting to swell a lil bit ? I've been putting purple lotion and gave him a shot of pen? Is there any thing else I should do? And his ear is all ate up and ripped in half in couple places will some of the peices eventually fall off ? I hate to cut the peices that are just hang on what do y'all think?

I would shoot him with penicillin or Amoxicillin and try to staple the ear back together and keep flushing the wounds.

Some cut and heal or wonder dust from the feed store. Those two products have always seem to help keep a bad cut or puncture wound clean and not get infected.

Hydro Therapy, and if the swelling is full of heat and pain, go with warm water and epsom salt soaking, will help the guy get to moving around. Make sure do the hydro therapy everyday twice a day if possible. Dog Bites will be sore. If he got any tendons or ligaments torn he will need alot of help and not really just filling the holes full of junk. Keep up the antibiotics, and keep fly repellent on him.

I ain't no vet so I would run by a country vet and get him looked over. They know all the tendons and stuff. There could be something little that if over looked turns bad. I lost a bird do thinking it was minor but the tendon swole up and ruptured. He could only use three legs running. Just make sure you have a vet that won't insist on doing all the treating unless you have the money. That is why I like the country vets.

dont use peroxide or alcohol once the cut is starting to heal it will retard the healing process, if the wound if fresh its good to flush it but after that put it away.

Bites are super bad to get infected so be mindful of that and watch him closely.

Try not to use dex unless you absolutely have to. Cortico steroids such as dex do extremely well with the swelling but they also.slow down the healing process. Swelling will look bad, but it is generally not as bad as it looks. I also would not use pen on him either since a lot of bacterias are resistant to pen. I would use cephalexin if at all possible. As for.the ears, if the edges are still bleeding or fresh (not dried out) I would get a tube of superglue (dermabond would be the best if possible) and glue them back together. This is easily done with good pitbull dogs but I am not sure how your dog's pain tolerance is. Just place a napkin under one side put the glue on the ear and hold the edge together then fold the napkin over the other side. The napkin will pull off once the glue dries and will leave a line on the ear, the napkin is just to absorb the the excess glue. I have had some pretty bad dogs that I had to.take care of and this has always worked for me.

go get some Vetericyn spray at the feed store . its about 35 bucks for a 16oz bottle but well worth it . my gyp took a bad cut on her side . you could see in past her ribs i sprayed her 3 xs aday for two weeks . it heals from the inside out the tissue will stay bright pink with no scabing at all . you dont even have to cover the wounds . its all i will ever use again . i had to put 17 staples to close the cut up .but she had pulled them out the next morning . thats when i started to use the spray . you have to look real hard to find the scar . Good luck Greg W

i would give the dex for for the first two or three days along with some vetericyn (sp) and some antibiotics after you quit the dex i world give an ibuprofen everytime you cleaned the wounds if possible twice a day in my experience a comfortable dogs heals better and quicker and that vetericyn is the best stuff since cold beer  ...hope your dogs heals quick samething happened to me this past winter with two catchdogs and now you cant even tell they fought |

Unlike cut&heal vetericyn will kill MRSA staff & you can use it in there eyes as well It is all natural. It has no alcohol in it so it doesn't burn them. Ruben send me a pm with ur number & I will send u a pic of her cut I treated with it.
