Title: Knot on dogs side? Post by: c.parnell on February 02, 2012, 09:42:38 pm Had a dog get a little poke in the ribs the other
Night I didn't even think he was cut Just thought he had blood from the pig on him. A dew days later he had a big soft knot on his side and there was a small scab onto knot... It's been about 5 days and now the knot is kinda hard and hasn't gotten any smaller... Could it be a hernia or just and infection ? Title: Re: Knot on dogs side?

I give 2 cc to a 50 lb dog 3 days in a row. Title: Re: Knot on dogs side? Post by: ARhogdogs on February 03, 2012, 08:31:24 am that's intramuscularly
