EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

How is the number 1 way a dog dies to a hog? Is it the jugular vein?
Trying to prevent this from happening in the future as much as possible- thanks

that and the guts and most of all the shock they get if you get a dog cut down do your best to keep it calm and not let it go into shock or it will most likely die

like florida said, shock

Anything else to worry about

Had a catch dog die last night. Had only a few scrapes on him. He got knocked around pretty good so were assuming it was internal.

Watch out for over heating. Carry water with u. If no water u can always pee in there mouth if yur iin a bind. Iv done it and it helps

never heard of this before lol

I lost two this year. One to overheating & one a cut to the jugular. Like said above, carry water or ringers with you. both are good if a dog gets cut down or he overheats. You have to get fluid put back into them.
Shock is also a big killer.
  I have lost two dogs that never had a mark on them also & I am thinking it was internal. I saw a young plott get hit by a big sow & she immediately bowed up. Took her to the vet & I was right. Busted spleen & more & she went into shock & died at the vets. The other a bulldog, We watched a big hog hit this dog going in & he caught the hog but he died three days later. Freak accidents or just unlucky.

How does a dog get cut if they have a cut collar?
Does the juglar go up to their cheek?

Hogs tusk can get under the cut collar.

Number one killer of my dogs has always been old age and then cars. If you want to keep you dog safe then get a lap dog. Don't keep me safe either while you are at it. How about asking what is the number one way hogs kill peope to keep yourself safe. It is a dangerous world and you either live your life or you stay safe and then you never live. Same goes for dogs. You can lock them up and keep them safe or let them act like dogs.

I've had dogs get hit in the neck w one tooth between the cut collar and vest bled out one stuck under arm pit under vest bled out one over heated, one hit by train chasing a big boar that was a bad exp.if there can be a freak accident in a dog dieing seems like I will unfortunately find

are we collecting data for the not so reasonable anti's???  :-\  popo

I have never lost a dog to heat exhaustion nor to a bad cut from a hog...but I have lost one to a train and had 1 or 2 stolen...  :-X

You ask how does a jugular get cut with a cut collar . Simple. I have had a big toothy bar hook a gyp behind the collar. Also had two huge holes in front of her cut collar. It can happen but a good cut collar reduces the area that can be cut.

 Nothing is cut proof.
     I think heat is the biggest danger. It isn't hard to carry water with you. Hunt responsible.

That are carry you some pediolite or anything with a lot of electrolytes!

Not to mention the hooks they catch in armpit only lost one to a hog and thats cuz they vest was a little big make sure they fit good and this will also REDUCE major injuries.

Infection is a big killer if not treated properly

With the dog getting to hot my vet said damp a rag with rubbing alcohol and damp their paws...I've never tried it but this time of yr any things worth a shot.

Only been goin few years now been lucky enuf not to have 1 KIA. had a buddy's dog lose half an ear bleed a lot had to carry him out he was gettin weak shock wasn't far off. Now how tight do u all wear ur vests. Always worried about cuttin off air intake. I run em off the kost of the time so they need ther wind.always keep collars tight! But vest I go tite then back off 1. Is this right? Whatch do u guys do?

thats what i do if they wear one 1-2 loose... when i do put one on em i only use a half vest i know it helps my cd alot doesnt hamper em down as much used a full vest one time and that wasnt worth nothing had no where near the movement and not to mention getting through brush
