God, the female that started the fight, Sasha, looks like one of those dogs off the anti-dogfighting videos. It's so sad! It probably doesn't help that her face is blue from the blu-kote and the betadine is red. Her face is so stained right now!
I don't know what the heck to do with these dogs! I love them both so much, Tuna was our rescued puppy and Sasha was a 2 yr old rescue we picked up during a rainstorm after someone dropped her at a lake. She and Tuna have always had their moments, but NEVER like this! This is worst fight I've ever seen, usually it's just a bunch of air snapping between the dogs and no real wounding.
I'm worried about a puncture wound on Tuna's shoulder and the scrapes and punctures on Sasha's face around her eye. It's all swollen and nasty looking, but Tuna looks almost normal. Her eye itself is intact, looks like she has a few scrapes on the surface but the eye is fine. Looks clear, all that other great stuff. Just swollen bad. I'll post pics if people think they can stand it, cause I want some more opinions as to what to do about treating these types of wounds.
I washed (rather, hubby did, it hurt too much for me to look at) with some dial foaming soap, then rinsed with clean water, sprayed her with saline, rinsed with peroxide, then poured betadine on the wounds. Did the same for Tuna. Tuna's aren't that bad, just the punctures, there are a few spots where the actual skin is missing. I gave them both 2 crushed Bayer low dose 81mg asprin. I guess we'll see what happens. I need antibiotics for them, now, but I don't know where the heck to get them.
