Dog Attacked

[THLpatrick 555]

Don't listen to people who say that the dog is unlikely to run again: I've seen much worse on my own dogs, and they have healed fine. Obviously the bruising is a concern, and yes, the wound could break down and the skin die off, but nature is pretty miraculous and even if it takes a long time the dog will heal providing you follow the vet's instructions. As the vet has already told you the dog will run again, then listen to the vet, not someone on here who I doubt very much is a vet, or has had a great deal of experience.

 

Just keep him quiet, clean the wound VERY gently every day with salt water: a teaspoon of salt dissolved in half a litre of previously boiled water which has been allowed to cool to luke warm.

 

You might well end up with a scar with no fur on it, but that won't matter at all. Good luck.

yeah just hoping for the best, cleaning the wound etc, hope he gets better and he comes okay, keep u updated, thanks for the advice

 

Sorry to hear that mate. Skycat gives some excellent advice. By the looks of it your dog will end up with a huge scar though but once it is fully healed give another 3-4 months then rub some moisturiser or vaseline in it daily and that should encourage a bit of hair growth so it won't look so bad.

thanks alot mate, as long as me dogs fine i dont mind the dead skin is shit though! mums annoyed about the looks am jus deverstated to the injury

My brother was walking my oldest dog lewy the whippet near are house, he could see 2 dogs across the road so they both crossed in oppostie directions and my brother started walking my dog ahead then heard the handlers shouting oh no, and there was a staffy going at my whippet, my brother kicked the dog off as much as he could buthe didnt really have much time so put the whippet behind him to protect it my dog was still on the lead and the staffy wudnt give in, eventually it got round my brother and got hold of him for a good 3 seconds rippping into him, whilst the 2 handlers couldnt get across the road but still didnt look keen to interact the shitbags the staffy is known to be dangerous in the sanctuary and they didnt even fit the harness propally never mind thinkin about a mussle, the handlers then tried to argue with my older brother over him using bad language after there dog has jus ripped a chunk out my dog, heres a picture the vet said he should BE OKAY to run etc, but the only worry is is skin dying :/, anyone no how whippets shape up of a tear heres a picture.

 

 

Anything to help on how they do, ive been told 2 clean the wound twice a day and antibiotics also twice a day, atb Patrick

same as you mate,why the f**k should i spend loads of time and money on rearing a pup or a dog.then it gets attacked by some f*****g idiot who thinks its a solid image to have a staffie.my dog is never off the lead until im away out the road of the dog walkers.Ive had many arguments with these c**ts and i swear if one ever attacks my pup i will f*****g cave its skull in with a brick or a maglite torch.those dogs should never be let of a lead and left to run about where there are other dogs or people.

[THLpatrick 555]

F**king idiots

my granda had a stray dog wander into his farm it was a staffy cross at the time my granda had 10 dogs ranging from lurchers , English bull terrier,doberman and many more.

The stray dog grabbed a hold of my grandad's English bull terrier and wouldn't let go so my grandad's German shepard attacked the stray dog creating a massive brawl so all my grandad's dogs had a go at the stray

so my granda grabbed a plank of wood and hit the stray who still diddnt let go so he wedged the wood in it's mouth and hit it, it finally let go he grabbed the dog and locked it in the shed and called the police they took the dog and put it to sleep

my friend 2 doors down who have moved, had 5 beatifull staffies, well behaved 100% trusted always walked them and trusted them round my ferrets and dogs, to bad some r c**ts, sorry about the EBT, but like i said it happens and am jus guna keep my dog well hopefully
