Well, so far so good, I think. I just washed him down with antibacterial soap, sprayed it out with some saline, debrided a little with peroxide, used some betadine, and wrapped with triple antiB ointment. I have some drawing salve (called PRID) that we use on our own puncture wounds, so I put...

Hubby is at TC right now getting the cattle penicillin and needles, and he'll be stopping at wal mart to get the neosporin. Tuna chewed his bandage off and is licking the wound on his leg, but I'm not gonna rewrap it till I can get the neosporin on there, which will be in about 30 min. I'll let...

Well, Tractor supply only carried Pen Aquaeus (sp?) not the Combi-pen. I don't know if it's the same stuff, or if it'll work. I found some of the fish stuff, but not sure if it's the right stuff. Aquarium Products Gel Tek Penicillin Medication Fish Eat Penicillin is an antibiotic that's...

Well, overnight Tuna must have been hungry, cause he got up and ate the food I put next to him. I softened some dog food with some really thick chicken broth (from my own chickens) and he ate all of it. He was wagging and getting excited when I came over to him, although I can tell he's still in...

Actually, I don't even have band aids. I know, that sounds horrible, especially having an accident prone 5 yr old, but when we have owies that need attending I used saline and rubbing alcohol. Then it air dries or gets covered with some cotton pulled off the tips of the cotton swabs (which I do...

Thank for the advice, although I've having a tough time picturing this vulcan grip of yours. I have a muzzle that I would be putting on the dogs to prevent biting. I used it on Sasha cause her wounds are on her face, and I didn't want to have my hand right there if she decided to snap. I just...

Do u think the wound will be okay until tomorrow? Hubby gets home around 5-6, and he'll be picking up neosporin and the penicillin stuff tomorrow on his way home. So it'll be like this until then, unless I can find a way to get to the store tonight.

Quote: I know, it's pathetic. The people here just don't care, when I called and explained they just told me to call someone else. Couldn't even give me any numbers, and refused to give me any over the phone advice. I told them what I was gonna do, and they wouldn't tell me if it was a good...

Quote: I don't know! I hope it's not his bone (which I kinda think it is) because there is NO skin left AT ALL. If it were to get stitched the surrounding skin would have to be pulled over to cover it, and being on his leg I don't even know if that would work. The skin would most likely tear...

Quote: Which wound, the one missing skin? If so, yeah, I understand. I'm worried about Tuna, period, cause he doesn't even want to move. I guess I understand, I know he's in pain right now. Sasha is acting completely normal, wanting to play and wagging her tail and everything, but Tuna's lying...

I told hubby about the injectible stuff, and he says that's a good idea. All the vets I've called won't do anything without seeing them, and even at the low cost place it's a $50 min per dog. I know I have to get them started on something quick, cause infection is the main concern. I re-read...

We just changed the bandage on Tuna's leg, so I was able to take some pics. Once again, don't look if you're squeamish. He's acting really funny, he won't walk, and the leg in the pics is the one he's favoring really bad. Also, when he walked when the hubby carried him outside to potty the...

I'm so relieved you think that! I can't help thinking the worst, I know Tuna's leg will probably be okay (not the puncture, the part that's missing skin that's bandaged, no pics of that cause of the gauze) but the deeper and worse looking ones are the ones I'm worried about. Is that combi...

Please don't look if you're squeamish! I don't know if it's just cause she's my dog, but it hurts just looking at this! her eye itself is fine, untouched (at least from the outside) but she's very swollen and the cuts are close to her eye. He had her face in his mouth over her muzzle. What does...

Quote: LOL, I know, but that's Tuna....sasha's the instigator who got whupped. Can u see how deep the puncture is? That's what worries me. I think I'll post pics of Sasha too, cause she's the one more hurt and that has me the most scared. I don't think she'll lose her eye, but then again I...

I found this on the TC website, is this the stuff? Pen Aqueous Drug; 100 ml Size; Pen Aqueous, Durvet Type; Use in Treatment of Cattle and Sheep for Bacterial Pneumonia (Shipping Fever) Caused by Pasteurella Multocida and Swine for Erysipelas Caused by Erysipelothrix Rhusiopathiae (Insidiosa)...

All right, I think that's what I'm gonna have to do. I know it's either that or I find a vet who'll prescribe without seeing the dog, and I doubt I'm gonna find that. So 1ml/10lbs of weight, twice a day....did u already say how many days? Sorry, I keep missing posts as I'm typing. Anyways...

what's it called, though? Just cattle penicillin? You already answered how to give it. How long do I give it for? A week? A few days? Penicillin is an antibiotic, right? (sorry, blonde moment) So it'll take care of the risk of infection?

Yes, they are both fixed. When we rescued sasha it was obvious she'd had a few litters of puppies, so I don't know if she was used for breeding before she was dumped. We took her to a free spay clinic to have them make sure she was fixed and she is. We were told that the best thing is to have...

fish pen? As in penicillin (sp?)? And the stuff for cattle? I don't want to give them anything that requires more than a normal doggie shot, no muscle injections or anything. What is the cattle stuff called? And how much should I use of that? I got some pics of the damage, but I'm kinda...
