EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

nthunter and i caught o nasty 300lb boar cut our yellow gyp up cut the access skin that hangs on there throat its like a big flap just the top layer no punture just cut the top layer of skin sliced maybe just keep it flushed out and hit her with some penicilion.
 it hard for her to lick it but she can lick it shes been keepin it clean

Pigdoggin,

I very seldom use penicillon, very seldom stitch or staple. I use "Cut Heal" at least twice a day but 3 times a day is better untill the dog is about healed. I try to buy the cut heal in the bottle that has the pump. I try to stay away from the one with the dobber because some dogs don't like to have it dabbed on and sometimes you can't reach all the places that need meds. Also the aerosol can will sometimes spook some of the more skittish dogs. Just keep a bottle around for the next incident if you don't already...

cut and heal is good but granulex is the best

put a dog in with her that she gets along with good the other dog will lick it.

According to my vet, dogs have just about become immune to pen.  My advice would be to staple it up if it not too late and start em on anantibiotic like cephalexin.  If its been open awhile, then closing it up wouldnt help unless you trim the dead skin away.  just do some hydrotherapy acouple time a day with the cephalexin.

I've always had luck just rinsing it out with half water half peroxide,,, not boar cuts, but dog bites etc

get some alma from grocery store in spice area. mix it with some vaseline. alma draws up the wound to help heal faster. vaseline keeps bugs and flies off. 2-3 times a day

Give her 1 to 1.5 cc. Of excede or excenel it will heal them up pretty quick
