Give him some penicillin after he kills a rat if he gets bit!

I dont see you giving him any helpful advice! He's obviously knew to it and needs to know something.. It's people like you who need to come to your senses!

The pup wont need fcuk all for taking a few rat bites , i would of waited till it had its second teeth before letting him go on rats !

jst clean wounds with salt water mate no need for out else

I personally find that rat bites rarely need treating unless its a gash or rip.best to let them heal from the inside out.

go easy on the rats [bANNED TEXT] if the pups goin2 work hes goin 2 work ,

[CorkyJohn 808]

What do you mean by needles? Did he have his first innoculations?

If the pup has already had its first shots, there is no need to give the pup anything after getting rat bit. Just clean it out with a little soapy hot water, or some hydrogen peroxide.

I use Betadine for such. Does not irritate skin or cause any other (allergic) reactions. Of course; parvo, rabies (here yearly vaccinations for u-gound hunting dogs, no rabies in UK?) and such vaccinations are a must.

Thanks for the comments and PMs lads, he has all his vaccinations up to date, the iodine spray seemed to do the trick

Alright Hawki,are you the lad I do meet up in the fields when i'm walking my dogs,,if so he is one cracking little pup ye have and full of balls,,

 

Lads if i'm right and this is the same lad ,which i'm sure it is ,it is his first working terrier and he is just learning what they involve but as keen as mustard ,spents hours up in them fields with the pup ,

 

I'm sure we can sort a day out somewhere with me and lads,while we are working the dogs,but ye still have plenty of time for that pup to show what he is bred for,come the start of next season he should be a nice age
