Needs stitching or staples leaving it like that will take months to heal get it sorted and will heal in no time

Yes quite some thing what a few stitches can fix or help fix and I think the sooner is better. The vet seemed happy to be sewing mine up a few hours after it happened

I have had him at vets they gave him jags and told to wrap as skin was torn away so wasnt able to be stretched for stitches. Bit swelling this morning but looking better already still not walking on it but only been 36hours

Trip to the vets I'd say it's a nasty gash that needs stitching for sure if in doubt and unsure a vets opinion is the best for injuries atb

+2 , it must be right twat of a dog to do that, more so a springer , it wouldnt do it again i make sure of that , the wound looks more like a cut than a bite, as above right to the vets get it stitched and jabbed up to stop infection

Vets,

Yea vets but if they did stitch it they would have to debraid the edges back to fresh tissue to get it to knit together should of took it straight away then gav your mates dog a lead pill right between the eyes

That will need a bit more than salt water and f***ing honey.

 

Get it to a vet before you get a visit

Never seen a springer inclined to do that much damage,in all fairness I wouldn't want put weight on it either of that was mine.

i have been to vet thats what am saying they said couldnt stitch as skin is gone photo doesnt do much justice its a 2" by 2" skinless patch now hes had jags and fresh dressings but if i get home today and swelling is back up i will be back straight away!

A couple of posts back he said he had it at vets and people still telling him to go vetd how many actually read threads before they post.
