Quick advice needed - Wound - CoBuHe

Poor Heidi, I hope she feels better.

ok...the bleeding has stopped...the ice has helped with the swelling.  I'm not sure how to cover it...its on the side of her face in two different spots.  She is not hurting in the least...she has been very patient with me trying to keep ice on it.

Vet not necessary...but I feel like I ought to put some kind of antiobotic cream like neomycin or something on it.

If you've cleaned it with soap and water, I'd put some antibiotic cream on it.  Poor hooligan girl.  I'm glad it's not bothering her and that she's being such a good girl.

I would not use the hydrogen peroxide.  There are better things to keep wounds moist and bacteria out.  The HP can damage tissue further.  I would clean it really well, leave it open for a little while so it can flush out anything "bad", and then use some neosporine or something like that to keep it moist.

Sounds good.  No Hp...I can see one of the holes trying to close up already...so I'm feeling much less stressed about it.  I'll continue to keep it clean then put some neosporin on it.  And the ice is a wonder drug.  The swelling is way down.

The girl is hard core player.  She doesn't understand why I stopped playing and she doesn't understand why I won't let her push the egg. 

Hooligans. 

Haha!  Go Heidi!  Sounds like Nikon when he ripped a claw off, I came out and saw blood all over the snow, Nikon still sprinting around business as usual.

Crazy night here.  Heidi has a major collision, and then Bruder decides his ears are going to start bothering him.  Shaking and pawing.  So, he's got his ears cleanedout with some medicine and she is all torn up.  And, they lay in the middle of the floor and start cleaning each other. 

Thats not going to work for bedtime.  I haven't kenneled them in ages, but tonight they go to bed separated.  They knew it too.  I started cleaning out their kennel water bowls then got some fresh water.  They saw me; and both go into their individual "houses" and lay down...while I get them fixed up.  Sweet hooligans.  BudMan gets the run of the place like a free man. 

I cleaned up her face again and put some neosporin on the wounds...and tuck them all in.  Tucka tucka tucka...night night night.

I think I'll go to bed myself...

I'm going to put another bug in your ear -- be ***extremely*** careful with puncture wounds -- was it wood that punctured it -- then you worry about a splniter.  Was it a nail or metal spike?  Again -- could cause extreme infection quickly.

A puncture will heal over on the top and can putrefy underneath.  WAY deep underneath.

Watch inside her mouth (I can't get a mental picture of 'where' this is) or the tissue surrounding the punctures -- ANY tenderness is vet .. a.s.a.p. 

I'm not saying it *will* infect -- I'm saying it sure as heck can.

ditto on the puncture wound thing. It sounds...since there are two...like a "running thru" kind of wound...is that the case? an entrance and exit wound? If that is the case I really would be uncomfortable if it closed too quickly...it needs to drain and heal from the inside, out. Definitely take  a temp once a day next couple days and feel it for heat...you may have to reopen it if it's a true puncture and may even require a drain. Many do.

Hope all is well!

It is a metal spike in the ground holding up the orange tree.  The are two separate wounds on her face...both punctured.  One of them is a scrape/2 puncture wound up under the eye and then further down closer to the nose another puncture (smaller) wound.  The lower one is the one that swelled up to the size of a ping pong ball after the collision.  But, after icing it for a good 15 minutes the swelling came down.  I checked her teeth and no damage there.  We are lucky she didn't hit her eye.

This morning...the wounds up top are still open, the lower one is closed.  She does feel a bit warm...so I'll keep my eyes open for that.

I have to go work in the office today, I will put some more Neosporin on it before I go and kennel them.  Rick can come home let them out to do business during the day.

I'm glad Heidi is mostly alright.  Owie!

Oh Heidi!  Let your mama take care of you & no infections, please!!

 owie! Heidi!  Glad she is 'ok' and hopefully no infection issues!

And Buddy I sure hope your ears are feeling better today

I'm glad to read that she's doing okay this morning. I hope she heals up just fine but I know you'll keep a close eye on her. They sure do keep us on our toes, don't they?
