Title: puppy got cut Post by: T-Bob Parker on July 28, 2010, 08:40:06 pm My puppy Wyatt got tangled in some barbed wire earlier and got poked through the front of his front leg right in a freaking vein! Tiny little poke but squirting blood pretty good. I put pressure on it for about ten minutes and it was stopped then a few minutes later it opened up again. Ive had it stopped for about thirty minutes now.
How long do I need to be on guard for it opening up? Should I keep it wrapped or let it breathe? He hadn't even been on a proper hunt and already getting some serious pokes :-\ Title: Re: puppy got cut Post by: BigAinaBuilt on July 28, 2010, 09:07:24 pm Due to the location of the poke I don't think wrapping it would do much before the pup would rip it off. I would keep steady pressure on and above the cut with some toilet tissue and keep an eye on their gums and at the first sign of trouble you may have to head to a professional. Do you have any blood coagulant?

That was my biggest fear, that it had severed and would kill his foot. I know it sounds silly but please pray for this pup, because he is BUCK-WILD.
