[Guest Mass_G3nocide]

Here is the worst injury(so far)that my whippet has had................

 

 

Bloody hell, what caused that?

 

 

 

Who stitched that????? Stevie wonder????

On a wound like that where there is constant movement of the skin as the dog walks, lies down and gets up etc, the stitches need to be inserted well back from the edges of the wound or they would pull through the skin and you'd be back to square one: might be a good idea to understand these things before posting silly comments!

It may look rough,but,it was all double stitched because they had to cut away some of the skin.They put a very large stitch in to hold it first and then put another in that will make the final scar(very neat to be honest).Here it is now...........

lamped a field from the road one night a field id never done before.Squealled a fox right in and my dog jumped the ditch coursed the fox and killed a nice vixen.On the way back through the field we got a run on the dog fox but the b*****d jumped over a 6 foot drain and my dog hit it going full belt.We took him out of it and he didnt move for 20 min ,thought he was a dead un.After 6 weeks he started to walk but sideways and another 5 weeks and he was right as rain

Similar thing happened to my bitch Scent, a few months ago, chasing a rabbit.

It was a hidden ditch, that the farmer dug, that was not their before.

In the feild at night with the lamp, looks like their is nowt their, till the bitch hits it full on..

My lurcher took a good month to get right again, she was very lucky.

 

Frank.

its a dangerous thing frank something like that could destroy a dog she was lucky

Had a couple of dogs killed before now broken legs had to be pts etc.... cramps old dog had if i remember 150 odd stitches from a tumble with some antlers he had another 120 odd inside his back leg from a tin sheet!!! another fifteen and a cracked skull inbetween his eyes after running into an rsj!!!

and many various we used to call him frankenstein lol... those where the days eh jase lol... worst ive had so far this year is stitches to my bitches head after a kennel fight.....

 

i came home and my cousin had brought her in... i should have taken a before pic really as the open wound was about 6" long in an l shaped rip with about 2" of skull showing after stapling i gave her antibiotics and flushed through twice daily with a mastitis tube she lay on the chair in the front roon and hardly moved for a fornight only to go eat and do her buisiness... healed perfectly tho... ive seen a lot of cuts on a dog the fleshy areas arent too bad but this one was just solid pain for about ten days her head swoll like a ballon....her eyes closed the lot..poor sod eh!!!

What sort of dog is she ? looks painfull

a lad told me he slipped his deerhound x on a black and white lad out lamping and his dog could not run for 8 weeks sore dose.

remember my da bringing our deerxgreyxcollie in with his guts all over the place. From what I remember he had cleared a barbed wired fence, but it was doubled up with another new fence a foot behind it. Dog opened up as if he had a zipper on his underbelly. My old man had carried him down for 2 mile or so. Back before mobile phones.

 

Same dog lost a bit of his knob on the barbed wire a couple of years later.

 

The dog I have now lost a toe after popping his collar and running around the back of the shops, broken bottles etc. Months later we found that he had a shard of glass hidden above his wrist, it was about 2 inches long.

 

There were a couple of my dads mates dogs lost due to injuries on ice. Dont know why the idiots were running them on such bad ground, but broken backs on two of them.

Here's a question.......... i've heard countless people that say they wont run their dogs on a freshly cut rape field, for fear of having the dogs stabbed in the eyes!!!!

 

I've ran my dogs in these fields and although the storks do look brutal, i've never had even a scratched face from them..........does anybody actually know of dogs getting blinded by this???

 

And not just urban myths like my mates mates brothers uncles sons dog done it!!!!!!!

our dogs went out just for a night walk across some stublle fields came back and our old bitch wouldnt open her eye and it was hard to look at it,left her until the next day thought she would be alright and noticed when she did open it for a second it was glazed over she looked blind and the surrounding tissue was inflamed we took her that day to the emergency vets he gave her some drops to keep her eye open ,some antibiotic drops and 3 injections and we had to take her back the following day in order for the swelling to reduce he could then see that her eye had been deaply pierced twice we then had to take her back the follwing day to see a eye specialist to decide whether to operate on her but she was responding to the treatment alright so after 3 weeks of going back and forth her eye has healed,she will always have the scarring on the eye(near pupil) and although shes had the all clear on her vision/sight i can tell she will never be 100% we think it could have been the stubble!??but i cant say for certain
