Title: Briar Burn Post by: Austesus on March 19, 2019, 12:07:01 pm Not sure if this is the proper name... but I’m referring to when a dog hunts in bad briars and the next day his hair looks rough, and he’s all scratched and cut up. I’ve got one dog in particular that will scab up pretty good and have what looks like dry skin and some sores and puss spots. I hunted him hard twice last week and he looks pretty rough. I put him on some antibiotics but I’m wondering if I should sit him out or if he’s okay to hunt on Saturday. Anybody got experience with this type of thing?

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Yeah man,,, that's a good way to tell if a dog is hunting hard... or one that is just hunted in open woods or pastures... If he aint got bumps in the inside of his ears than he don't know what a clear cut is..LOL Title: Re: Briar Burn Post by: Austesus on March 19, 2019, 03:34:07 pm Lol we hunt some real rough terrain. Swamp, river, and lots of briars. Mine are always cut up because of the briars but I was just concerned about the sores oozing puss. Mainly because it’s one dog that has it worse, that dog is also the best dog I have though and covers the most ground

Title: Re: Briar Burn Post by: Austesus on March 19, 2019, 06:47:28 pm I may need to look in to that, he only gets it real bad sometimes. He gets bumps all over and they will start to puss. And his back legs are covered in dry skin that’s scaly. I tried to get a picture earlier but I had already thrown him a slab of meat so he wouldn’t come out of the dog house lol

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190321/ae6d6f9775b3c60f86f87a8eac53a50c.jpg) Not great pictures, most of it is actually cleared up now after a few days of antibiotics. He had sores all over his underside that looked like little Whitehead pimples and were oozing Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Title: Re: Briar Burn Post by: Pwilson_10 on March 21, 2019, 10:04:29 am Mine do that when they get little thorns in them and that’s what urs prolly is some times u can pop them little white heads and the tips of them thorns on the vine will come out

Title: Re: Briar Burn Post by: jdt on March 21, 2019, 07:07:33 pm i cant really tell by the pictures but i've had some skin issues over the years and mr ben said rub purex bleach on em 2 or 3 days and that cleared them up . i'm against antibiotics unless absolutley nessessary .
Title: Re: Briar Burn Post by: Austesus on March 22, 2019, 07:45:16 am I’ll try some of that guys, I try not to give antibiotics too often. Here’s a few better pictures I got (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190322/c6085d53e69a4f69fec27227a4f19e6e.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190322/842c654c8447dd8d7c88eed030d5600d.jpg)
