OW, now that is a poor pup. Max's are no where near that bad. This is after the Neosporin (why so shiny) this morning.

That's a horse. He was run into a building in slippery mud and got his chest slit open by a lag bolt.

coconut oil will help and get hair back in place sooner than later.
also i don't necessary think dogs have to remain separate permanently but definitely supervised...I can tell you how things worked out for my pack of 4 (2 males 2 fem) keep in mind all my dogs are altered and regularly exercised.... Misty my alpha "fought" = submited each new dog, not always right away...she was fine w/ dozer for 3 years before she "ripped into him" he had cuts and scars it was unexpected fight and we were not home, at the time of the fight they were separated in 2 kennels w/ shared wall Misty had bloody gums from chewing on the galvanised fence.. after the fact it was hard trying to do something and worry all the time but it never happened again, he was submited for life, it has been 4 years and not as much as a growl from one to the other and we stopped separating them after we found her in his kennel w/o traces of fight... Bailey got in w/ misty within 11 months, she had multiple punctures, Tank and Misty got into it 3-4 times w/in 1st week....as bad as it sounds it is what happens when alpha is either challenged or is establishing her/himself and every dog i owned tried and pushed the limits and they all were put into place/rank...now no other fight had happened ever since and if 2 dogs disagree Misty is right in the middle and both dogs walk away...I used to separate 2 by 2....i don't separate now, i had dogs hurt themselves trying to rip kennel apart to be with alpha or if alpha is put away she tears fence apart to be with others, I have 6 (10' by 6') destroyed panels that i replaced in the last 3 years, so for the past 1.5 years all dogs are left alone in the back yard together, all stay in sunroom when its cold together...so, i know that it is not the same for everyone and would not work for some, and i am sure someone would disagree...but it works for me and my dogs...

For pete sake, dogs fight, it's what they do. Anyone who thinks their dog/s will never fight if they are unattended is living in a fool's paradise. Even the most gently dog will retaliate if jumped by another dog. Never leave 2 of the same sex together unattended. In fact, if you want to prevent fighting 100% don't leave any 2 dogs together unattended. The worst fight I ever had was between a male and a female. I still have the scars from breaking up that one. What a stupid thing to argue about. They are dogs. Fawndallas asked for advise and she gets lectured. No wonder the traffic here has dropped dramatically.
In a few months I'm guessing you won't even see those scars unless you look for them. I'm assuming you no longer allow these 2 dogs to be together anymore? Once they fight, they will always have it in for each other you know. Good luck.

Moons relax already, I am just giving it to you like I have seen you give it to others. Yes, dogs will fight (I guess) I have a lot of dogs all living together all bumping elbows so to say and I have had 1 fight in 20 years and that was right after I got started in dogs. Same sex dogs should not be left unattended (tis true) wow thanks for that bit of info and lol.
My wife is a small woman and I cannot take the chance of my dogs fighting especially when I am not here so the dogs know that in this pack I will be the only one doing the fighting.
It really is very simple. Blitzen you just summed this all up with this comment - Anyone who thinks their dog/s will never fight if they are unattended is living in a fool's paradise. I rest my case.

It is nice to hear from many of you. We need a PDB reunion. I am all for somewhere warm. Greece looks like a lovely place to visit.

Oh LadyFrost. So you too have a dog that eats through metal. My lab does that. What a pain, but we love them.

GSD,
you already explained all that to me in your official admin PM last night did you not?
I changed the word didn't I?
If I give advice to someone it is always genuine< I don't do it for sport.
I have a thick skin as well fawn, they don't bother me with the personal stuff, just don't badmouth my dogs or how I raise them, been at it too long.

I have had VERY GOOD results from using a slurry of
Pure vitamin E oil (pharmaceutical grade from the dermatologist if you can get it)
neosporin
and Witch Hazel
I have no measurements to share (equal measurements will work) but you have to blend, blend, blend because the oily neosporin and vit E do not like to mix with the witch hazel
Once it goes together, it stays in a slurry
Apply it 2 to 3 times a day as soon as possible after the wound has been washed.
I had a solid black dog with a 2.5 inch gash on the bridge of his nose (deep gash) heal up with NO white hairs come in using this
Best of luck
