I always sew mine but different strokes for different folks
Colby I'll staple shallow cuts or skin cuts but I've seen deep cuts get infected too many times when you close them. It leaves and open pocket inside and it will fester and turn into infection because the dead tissue can't be cleaned. Just my observations...
Not to be a smart A$$ but how many dogs have you seen this happen to in your 8month hog huntin experience Bub?i ve been around hunting dogs since the age of 5. I was just given my 2 cents, I can show you 2 or 3 cuts just from one dog I ve had for 4 or so months now and I can promise you sewing him up made his recovery that much faster and put Him back in the woods 10 fold faster than staples or natural healing. Like I said in my post different strokes for different folks. I like huntin every weekend so I want my dog to recover fast as possible if that means antibiotics and sewing then that's what ima do... Those are just my observations........ I can't count on one hand how many dogs I watched my grandpa and great grandpa sew up with fishing line and 2 drain holes to flush water through it. I guess if you have a pack of 10 dogs natural healing is fine but I personally don't have that many so I don't have time to wait for natural healing.....
