Ouch!
Ouch!
My male had an unfortunate run in with a wire fence pannel. The fence pannel won that round. I wish the little joker would at least act like he is hurt and lay around a little bit more. The vet had to do 4 layers of stiches to get him sewn back up.

Re: Ouch!
I always cringe with barbed wire horses and dog when they get into that stuff..it sure isn't pretty
actually saw a pointer a couple years ago that one of those rare cases got tetanus from an altercation with some old barbed wire
in over 30 plus years of vet practice it was the first dog with tetanus my vet treated
Hope the healing process is quick and clean with no complications

Re: Ouch!
A friend of our who guides for us has GSP's
one day he came out with his brother in law...now when he takes clients out he goes over safety rules how to hold the guns in the feild etc etc well he didn't go over these with his Brother in law and guess what
the brother i law was holding the gun down with the finger near teh trigger dog bumped the barrel of the gun and Boom
now the dog was lucky he had a bit of a face peel and they wrapped it up rushed to the club house I jumped into the truck with them and we headed to the vet
I looked and observed his GSp ...
1 He was alert and looking around
yes there was a lot of blood but i told them to keep the head wrapped in the shirt
2 i lifted the dogs lip ...pressed pink came right back no signs of shock
plus had they hit something vital the dog would have never made it off the field
So I turned to my friend and said He is a GSP he will be just fine...My friend looked at me in a bit of confusion
I told him his dog was not shocking out was alert
The dog was lucky the pellets missed any vital nerves he has a scar and a piece of his ear missing but less then 3 weeks later had the dog out hunting again
So When I say them GSP's are tough....they do seem to bounce back quickly
looks like the vet did a decent job of work there keep it clean and dry is the hardest part
