EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

A guy gave me a bulldog that looks like warmed up death. Supposedly he's a catching machine but has been sick. I took him to the vet he said the dog has staff.  He told me I could get medicine from him for about $5 a day 6 weeks worth or I can give him 1cc of baytril in the muscle daily. Well I went with the  baytril since I have a bottle in my medicine bags. It seems to be working good but he has some open sores on his legs that look like puncture wounds. Does anyone know of anything I can put on them to dry em up and get him healed up?

Hydro therapy never hurt anyone, thats just spraying it with the water hose for 3-5 minutes 1-2 times a day.  I know some people make fun of it but Vetrycin works really good too.  Good luck with your dog.

When I worked for Tyson foods (hog farms) we would put scarlet oil or clorahexidin not sure if the spelling is right on the last on but its a blue liquid you mix with water and put in a pump up sprayer the scarlet oil is the best will fix it right up on hogs have not tried it on dogs though.

And Matt, who makes fun of vetericyn, I know some make fun of me, but say it ain't so brother.

For people Muprocin (spelling) works wonders on open sores i know you can give the dogs Bactrim (its a people med but safe for dogs).  My doctor gives me extras when i get a prescription filled. 

Bactrim and clyndimycin is the best for staph. People and dogs. Keep it clean and give him the above medication if you can get it.
