Agriv8 Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 So pip worked again yesterday. She worked until exhaustion set in. Even picking a wounded pheasant on the pond. cleaned and checked last night she was scratched with the brambles but some have become infected. so looking for help from you experienced dog owners for advice. ears are also very sore so looking to treat when she lets me near them !

archi Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 I often used to just run my finger nail over the pussy bits to get it out then use warm salty water then apply a bit in anti septic cream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agriv8 Posted December 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 We have a couple weeks rest before working again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agriv8 Posted December 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 (edited) Thanks Archi. She lives inside so keeping dry and warm will try a salt bath later. I thought about anti septic cream but was worried about her licking this is there a brand you suggest Thanks Agriv8 Edited December 13, 2020 by Agriv8 Spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKD Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 In my experience if there is puss showing it means there is dirt under the skin/in the wound. Use a swab [cotton wool or similar, not tissue it breaks up] with saline solution followed by a suitable antiseptic cream. Must admit, it looks like she has very sensitive skin in those ears 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTaylor91 Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 I’ve used hibiscrub on any infected cuts and scratches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agriv8 Posted December 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 The photos above is her groin area. her ears are very sensitive today but have been treated with clean aural sensitive Which seems to have soothed the ears. I have free Vidio online vets constantly which I will use if things are stil causing me concerns but thanks for all your info as I suspect I will be dealing with this regularly as she not scared of getting stuck into and under the brambles after game. regards Agriv8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agriv8 Posted December 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 For info for anyone else reading the info on the hibiscrub it can be used as a medicated dog shampoo so planning that will try that as her dog shampoo next time out. she is still tired snoring her head off - strange dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonepark Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 Wash scratches with anti bacterial soap when getting home, let dog lick (if they do till bed time) and savlon scratches before bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loriusgarrulus Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 +1 for Hibiscrub. As a quick clean before heading for home. Soak a pack of baby wipes in hibiscrub, diluted half and half with cool boiled water and keep in a plastic box in the vehicle. Great for a quick clean of any scratches and sores before they have chance to fester. Good for you to. Also work well if you have a dog prone to some types of ichy skin spots.

Agriv8 Posted December 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 Thanks all. Had a free online consultation with first vets via dog insurance as I was a little concerned at her temperature at a couple of points today a couple of the sores started looking quite angry! as you clever lot have rightly diagnosed hibiscrub ( ordered through Amazon prime yesterday) diluted 1 to 10 general worked around sores twice a day. if redness extends further than immediate area any sudden change in temperament or pip goes off food / becomes lethargic seek further appointment/ consult my vet as a mater of urgency. In future to try and minimise infection taking hold wash with hibiscrub or Chlorexyderm 4% at end of working day. Apply hibiscrub on any sores that are red the day after ! regards Agriv8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
