Medical Conditions & Diseases / Re: YUK - ripped pads off!
« on: March 13, 2009, 05:23:07 am »
Just picked up some Furacin ointment (horse people will know what it is) and some vet wrap (I had some hot pink wrap at home but didnt want to humiliate the poor fella!  LOL).  I alson called and talked to our wonderful vet and she said I'm on the right track but to bring him in if I notice any heat, swelling or puss.

Medical Conditions & Diseases / YUK - ripped pads off!
« on: March 13, 2009, 02:33:47 am »
Teddy's little sheep escapade the other day did him some damage.  Seems he's ripped the black covering off both the pads on his front feet at the back of the foot.  The pads with the nails are fine. (a pic is worth 1000 words - I've circled the area I'm talking about - its both feet - Owww!!!)

Raw, pink yukky stuff exposed.  So far, I've just put some polysporin on it.  Think I'm going to head to the local farm supply and get some type of topical cream or spray (something that might stay on a little longer).

Anyone else dog's ever have that?  What did you do for it?

Teddy has decided that the underground fencing isn't enough of a deterent to keep him from playing with the neighbours sheep. 

Yesterday, he went to their house and was galloping around in the sheep pen - didn't hurt any of them except for running them around.  Unfortunately, they are all pregnant and that is how our neighbours make their living.  If any of the sheep abort their lambs over the next few days, we are responsible. 

She came and got Trevor yesterday (after she tried to catch him and Teddy thought it was a big game), and thank goodness he was home!  But.....she said that if their is a next time, she may not be able to do that (I totally get her point, if she cant catch him and he's running her sheep, she would have to do something to prtect her livelihood).

So, Teddy is back to being on the leash to go potty.  No going outside to play, nothing.  Tonight we are going to shave his neck and re-check his shock fencing collar.  Maybe new batteries will fix the running away?  Sure hoping so!!

I'm feeling kinda crappy about it today.  Sure hope her sheep are OK.

A bit of both actually, but to a farm girl, this pic just makes that tractor look even smaller!  LOL!

Your pups are adorable!  I remember Teddy at that age....cant imagine having 2 of them - what fun!  I love the look of the rough coats, but yeah, the easy upkeep on my boy is a wonderful thing!

Thanks for these receipes!!  Teddy always has trouble with his ears....the latest thing we have been trying is a solution our vet made up just for us....from the large animal clinic (main ingredient is Beytril)!  LOL!  But, with the amount of infections my big boy gets, I'm gald to add these 2 recipes to the collection!

So smart of Bubba to pick up that command so quickly!  Hopefully it helps in the next situation.  I think that one might come in handy...I may try to teach Teddy that as well!
