A bad choice of topic on an open forum imo

agreed

I disagree, dog men should educate themselves on the legalities of the use of antibiotics, if I can save one lad the hassle of a court appearance and the confiscation of his dogs then it's worth saying.

 

i didn't look at it that way, good point

Totally agree D , in person or pm or phone but the less the guests know the better was what prompted my comment.

Keeping ourselves ignorant doesn't help the dogs. There's plenty info. freely available that we don't need to rely on rumour or old habits.

 

Not as entertaining as reading THL but it's worth a look , It's worth really looking at little details here and specifics.

Slight tangent, but if a dog can, give it electrolytes or at least water to drink as soon as you can after a dig. Go easy with the heat and heat lamps for a dog after a tough time.

 

 

 

"Frequently, more than one type of shock is present, with hypovolemia likely to play a role in each form. Rapid and aggressive fluid resuscitation yields the best outcome, with hemostasis used as required. In veterinary patients, many stages and categories of shock will respond to fluid resuscitation alone"
