Very very sorry for your losses.  If there's risks where I gotta wear gloves when cleaning hogs, my dogs will not be eating them. I've always kept to myself on that because I know ALOT of folks do feed their dogs hog meat....to each their own, I'll just never do it. Maybe I'm jaded from being a Vet Tech for many years and seeing a lot of dogs come in with pancreatitis from getting a hold of/eating some kind of pork. My doctors I worked under always said pork wasn't good for dogs, and I figure with all that schoolin, they must know something, lol. I know a lot of folks do this with no visible issues, but I never will. I'll stick to kibble and chicken every now and then. One time, on accident, we were cleaning a sow, and one of the dogs snatched up a piece of meat that fell on the ground and swallowed it before I could get it. He was shattin some green jelly type poo for about a month after that.  Wouldn't it be nice if a vaccine was created to protect our dogs from contracting Brucellosis?? Another thing to remember as well is whenever you breed off your yard, especially when it's to another working dog, it's a smart idea to have said dog tested for Brucellosis by a vet beforehand. It's fast and inexpensive. I know we can't help it with the hogs, but we can at least try to control it being transmitted from dog to dog. |

Hope u have reached the end of the results from this. If I feed any part of a pig to my dogs it's usually the feet. I do let my dogs chew on them raw. Any other meat I boil first then mix with kibble and use the juice as gravy.
I personally hate to wear gloves and have a hard time remembering to put them on. It will probly cost me some day.

After reading this thread i'd have to agree with you shotgun, i dont believe ive ever worn gloves while skinnin a hog unless it was cold, hell saturday night I cleaned 2 and lit a cigarrette 1/2 way through, my ol lady about threw up when she saw me do it.....i didnt even realize what i had done until she started hollerin all kinds of nasty words at me lol. I will for sure be more aware of what im doing while cleaning them from here on out. That does not sound like anything i was to mess with! |

Definitely was the same for me... The vet we talked to was pretty adamant about us protecting ourselves and all I could think of was how aggravating it would be to wear gloves while skinning and processing... But after the first dog died we immediately ordered kevlar gloves and picked up some surgeon gloves to wear underneath those... It was a pretty big wake up call for us. We definitely arent gonna stop doing the sport we love, we are just going to try to me more careful while we do it.

Absolutely. I hate that you had to loose 2 good dogs to open your and our eyes but im glad you shared with us. i knew it could hurt a dog pretty bad but i had no idea it could hurt humans that bad. |

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...

Yeah from what I hear if you catch it early in a human they will treat it without lasting affects. If you start having fever and or joint pain along with the fever then you should realize that could be what you have. It is also treatable in dogs. Canine Brucellosis cannot be cured in dogs.. But swine brucellosis, although it has never been actually cured from the blood in dogs, theoretically can be cured in dogs. But, thats theoretical of course. The vet that has been talking to us actually wants to use these dogs for research, which I'm all for. I think there just isn't enough knowledge about swine brucellosis in dogs and humans so any knowledge we can find out we need to share.
