@meltel Just got email from son. His buddy's dog got its tail caught in a door & ripped some skin off...bleeding pretty good. Constant tail wagger. Wanted my advice.
Told him, never having had the problem, that all I can think of is wrapping it snug with ointment-coated gauze & holding it in place with vet wrap or adhesive tape 'til he can get it to a vet.
Did I tell him right?

Ok bacitracin-not neosporin is better for dogs. Also preferably one without the pain relief. Sport wrap or coban might work well too as it will cling but not to the fur.

Hello Dax

This is what I use. Huge disclaimer now on the box. Do not overlap rope light. Simple to keep it separated. This one is white. I prefer the blue or red ones.

This was their first night with it. 45* in the barn. Probably 70* in the box but the rope gets much warmer. Chicks will lay on it. I try and keep it buried as they will get stuck under it.

This is all the brooder is. Cardboard with a packing blanket as insulation, and dirt. Light on timer and rope light on all the time. Feeder cut into cardboard. If it was better insulated I'm sure the temperature would be higher inside.

Thanks!

Let me know after looking it up; I suggested antiseptic ointment.

triple antibiotic ointment/bacitracin is best. Also not sure what they have on hand or how old or big the dog is, but tramadol is used for pain control. They gave my little 20lb dog 25mg every 8 hours. I wouldn't use aspirin because that could cause more bleeding. Just try to keep him from licking or chewing at the wound and keep it clean

Venison tenderloin butterfly steaks for supper. Heaven is!

Yummy butterfly venison is really great. I am having leftover turkey from last night.

and everyone else who wished me a happy birthday

Have a good day sweetie?

The first turkey eggs of the season just went in to lockdown! I'm excited for the new babies to arrive! A couple are already internally pipped

COME ON BABIES!!!

Howdy all! Hope this gorgeous frosty (here, anyway) January day is treating everyone fabulously. @Sally Sunshine hi again!! I've been offline for a long time and then became a shameful BYC lurker, I'm afraid. I think work has officially fried my brain---I was recently possessed to build my own incubator. Only I ordered eggs before I was finished with the 'bator...I work better under pressure!
Thanks for tagging me! It's good to be back around folks of the same ilk again! Pretty much everyone I know thinks I'm batpoop crazy for hatching for V day while I think I'm batpoop crazy for waiting so long. ;-)
