Manuka honey for go scars? - Page 2

Thanks Nan's.  Probelm is that the wounds are close to the eyes.  I tried the vetercyn a couple of times, but Max was very wiggly.  Not worth the chance of getting it in the eyes.

Neospiren has healed them well.  Now just trying to get ride of the unsight scars and nicks

Only a matter of time Fawn. Only a matter of time. I have owned multiple intact males and females all living together with no fights to speak of. Fawn are all these dogs fixed yet?

Moons, I think you should get out of dogs like you have advised many members in the past. Dogs should never fight - bottom line.

All but Max is fixed.  I would have figured I would have heard and argument or challenge first.   Life happens.   Good discipline stopped the fight before it got worse.  

Fight issue is resolved and living quarters have changed.

 

If you say so. They won't forget so please don't you, either. BTW, they aren't always going to send out invitations to fight night. Take it for what it is worth. Good luck and you might want to really watch those females in the future, also.

  actually it was the females that had all my attention watching for argument.   

Oh well, it just moved up my time table to move Max in as my second in support.  We will be polishing up over then next few months to take the Public Access Test.  Hopefully by April I can find someone in North Tx to administer the test.

I'm afraid a couple of you are making assumptions based on no information what so ever, imagine that.

My dogs do not fight each other period, they don't fight other dogs.
My oldest bitch is the alpha of the pack, she does what every alpha does to the younger sub bitch in the pack, just like in the wolf videos you love so much, hence the minor scars on her face.
The younger bitch stopped coming into heat in her third year by submission.
She (the alpha) also dominates the male most of the time.
All are intact.

My male got nipped and pulled away from the younger female and tore his ear competing for a stick, not a fight, she did the same thing to his ass once.
My male broke his leg as a pup tumbling down steps as part of the pack and my youngest female was hit by a car once when she was younger, cars and neighbors were new to them all at that time.
One cut a pad badly on a broken piece of glass once, she also gouged her forehead chasing a coyote and the stitches created a knot as a scar.
Isabelle cut herself once on barbed wire.

We have a good working pack and they run free controlling everything in their territory, they work together as a pack as well as individually.

I have more scars than any of my animals, I don't live in a bubble either, work hard, play hard, and I have actually been in a fight or two, unlike my dogs, and yes shit happens.
I've been doing this all my life and probably forgotten more about animals than most of you will ever know in your life time.

Piss on Michael Vick, and smart ass's who run their mouths talking shit.
Bottom line.

Edit....any better?









 

Fawn, scars fade, especially on young dogs.  Max may not end up looking
quite as whole as he started, but they needn't be disfiguring.  We had a
youngish Shepherd came in from Rescue, his face was absolutely peppered
with black scabby marks.  Never sure if they were caused by dog bites, acne,
or 'fence-fighting';  but within months of being with us he looked almost normal,
they had faded right away.  We didn't do anything special to treat them, just
bathed him and gave him a good life.  You would be very hard-pushed to notice
anything wrong with his face now, a couple of years on.

Thanks all.   Don't concerns yourself too much TwoMoons.  I have thick skin and I understand many mean well.

Life is rough and tumble.  Very few, human and animal alike, make it out without a few battle scars.

Fawn, I'm glad the dogs quit fighting before serious damage was done and without injury to any humans trying to break it up.
FWIW, anything like honey that you apply to any wound will cause another dog to lick the stuff off. The problem with that is, the wound can get worse from excessive liking.

Vetericyn is the thing to use, but it has to be done immediately, not a week later. This wound healed with no scar whatsoever using Vetericyn Hydrogel (pic taken 4-5 days into treatment- gash was 7.5" long):


Having a dog with an injury doesn't make someone a bad (or necessarily stupid) dog owner. Not seeing the forest for the trees does.

And BTW, if you read what's printed right on the bottle of Vetericyn, you'll see it can be safely used around eyes. They even have a few eye formulas.
