Today I got home and let Scout out and started to drain some of the infection out of his wounds scout just sucks it up he is really a great dog.
Very sad to see your pup's neck mangled by the neighbor's bull dog. Don't know the details of the attack as to whose property it was where the attack took place. The bull dog owner should be made aware that if a future such hostility occurs on your property, or on public roads, there will be consequences. My own neighborhood recently went through an episode in which three boxers got out of their yard and attacked a man walking his small dog on a public residential street. The man had to pick up his little dog to keep it from being "eaten" by the pack that had surrounded him. Fortunately, the owner of the boxers came out quickly and defused the situation. Whenever walking our beagle on some streets not far from those boxers, I carry a stout walking stick, and am armed. I have had random occasions to use the stick to fend off loose dogs, but fortunately never anything more than that.
Scout is a really good dog to let you work on him. He didn't give one growl as you were cleaning the wound. Are you giving him anything like an antibiotic? Sad to see Scout hurting like that but glad he is up on his feet.
Damn it!!!, You have antibiotics for dogs and something for the pain? That little dog is in a 9 line bind with fear and pain, Anything we can do for him?
I have been giving him antibiotics I was given him pain meds for another dog I had but I stopped because all he would do is lay around and that's not good for him he was up early this morning tail wagging a little more pep in his step
Poor Scout. Wishing him a speedy and full recovery! Do you not have a veterinary physician in the area?
Don't let OUR dog die on us, He's like the survivalmonkey dog!!! You sure we can't Help out? I have a check here for 100.00 with Scouts name on it to help with the vet bills....I ain't scared me.
I appreciate it but I think he will be fine I had a dog that got hog cut from his neck to his back ham guys on the ground I wash them out with water from a Cypress pond and put them back in pack it the best I could took over 500 Staples to get the cut closed and he made it scouts tough but I really do appreciate your concern We do and they are expensive where I am at so the self med I treat him like I treat me
Hurts my heart to see that pup so hurt. We have all seen Scout in videos lively and happy, he is a good dog. We had a neighbors dog attack our dog years ago. It was awful. His neck was all torn up and he was skiddish of being near the other dogs yard or walk past their driveway. Have you spoke to the owner of the bulldog yet
He is not scared of other dogs in fact I had to stop him from going after the same dog that did this to him no I have not talked to the owner even if I did it would not help he is one of them people that's always in jail or the cops are always over at his house I will wait the dog will get his
A good dog is hard to come by,take care of Scout. I have two Jack Russels and a cross breed that I really love. Toby,Buddy and Little Girl.
Please keep an eye on Scout, that could go septic and it's no good then! If there' any thing you need you be sure to let us know! My Neufy got into it with a Pit, had to end the pit to get him off and pry his jaw open with the butt of my rifle. After wards he got all infected and needed surgery! That bill was 3K! He dosnt like other dogs much now!
You know, Do we have a thread about which anti-antibiotics can be crossed over to dog/human safe? Now would be a good time to research what will safely work vs what won't.
Kerosene will work to clean and disinfect a wound , it works on people , should work on the pup as well. I don't know about this dyed kerosene , maybe get some pure clean kerosene from lowes or the depot. Kerosene does not burn , it's actually has a cool , soothing effect. This I know from experience . Good luck to Scout. I believe he's going to snap back , let us know if you need anything for him Bishop.
I took a bath with him tonight with Epsom salt got him some squrril stew with chicken broth and he been getting around good tonight
Nobody ever believes this because I am no doctor but with what ever else you are doing get some propolis tincture ( Or maybe because I cant spell) and soak the wound.topical anethetic,antibiotic and anaglesic I think look it up.
