I have a pit that got hit by a hog. The wounds is swollen and dripping a mix of pus and blood. I washed it out with peroxide. What else should I do? The hole is not deep.
Thanks

give him a shot of pennicilan, you can get it at feed stores, also flush the wounds a couple times a day with water.
if you dont want to give him a shot, id take him to a vet asap, he sounds like he is infected.

Nate, i've always given 3 cc's every other day for a total of 3 shots. Large open wounds, try and flush with water for several minutes once or twice a day. On small wounds, I just flush with betedine, as long as it's draining, it should be fine.

Dilute the betadine with water to flush it burns like fire straight.

betadine is not good to clean wounds with because it kills the cells that help heal the wound. I would use a anti bacterial soap and water. Also hydro therapy would be really good. Just run water on it for like 5 or 10 minutes. Penicillin is not the best for flesh wounds. cephilexin would be much better. They are a green pill and come in 50 mg. Two pills in the am and two in the pm, so a total of 200 mg a day for ten days would be your best bet.
