A Little Care And Attention

[man o kent 269]

With some new gents appearing to be starting up in the terrier game, they seem to get lots of advice on how to start, what type of dog, when's the best time, and the usual "get the right dog, and give it a go" suggestion.

But lately I have seen little mention of how to look care for your dog after a dig. As soon as you can, don't forget to wash out and check their eyes for dirt and sand. Clean out their teeth, remove any mud/clay or bits of root, and give them and any scratches a thorough rinse off with salty water or whatever you prefer. Continue rinsing for a couple of days. Happy hunting next season gentlemen

And remember you can get done for not getting vetinary attention, get fined/prison and be banned from keeping dogs, so be careful what you put in posts

Probably the reason many wont go into detail but agree ,minor scratches should have a topic here .

No need telling the terriermen on here that as those that need to know already know and the rest will have given up the dogs and be into budgies this time next year so lol

Trouble is how far do you go with first aid ,i mean some will treat everything whilst others will think a punture is a trip to the vet .

This topic was meant for the new lads or those who are considering it. Surely the seasoned terrier men know what they are doing, and I have no wish to teach grandmother how to suck eggs.

you right there. i am think there should be a general first aid section for working dogs and ferrets.

Young or old, newbie or not, it's a dangerous thing to do any running repairs on your dog. The only advice that should be given on here is to find an understanding vet that's sick of treating dogs with diabetes and would like to lay there hands on a proper working animal......good luck.

I got a Polish vet has worked on lurchers for me and understands working dogs and their jobs very well so anything after a warm shower and hibi scrub he WILL be seeing any of my charges

[man o kent 269]

Topic is about cleaning and looking after your dog, not treatment of injuries
