Hunting a dog with a open wound?

He's probably far enough along in the healing process that he would be ok, but for future reference, a dog that is cut uses a lot of energy fighting infection and more likely to suffer other complications. I learned the hard way with a catch dog I was hunting that I thought was fine to walk in and catch. He had a big cut on his chest but it didn't seem to bother him so I took him hunting. He wasn't caught for longer more than a minute and I had to cool him down and tote him back to the truck. I take some military guys hunting from time to time and one is vet. He said the reason he almost stroked out was because his body was fighting infection and couldn't handle the added heat and stress.
