neil cooney 10,416 Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Muzzel him before you pull it off and keep an eye that he's keeping it clean. Light exercise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jarv5116 57 Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Yeah I done the same last week mate. just take it away from your hous prefferable over the woods. get someone hold the dog and give it a snip. cut it as far up as needed. it stop bleeding after 10 mins. wash out with salty water couple times day with tooth brush keep eye on it for infections. possible need antibiotics.
