Took the lads out this afternoon and saw some of their lurcher friends....

unfortunately Archie tried to run away from one of them... like a mad thing and jumped clean over a fence....with bloody barbed wire on the top. :angry:

Anyway poor lad has just got back from our vets, I waited while they stapled him....its in a really awkward place on the top of his front leg where it bends...

He was really good at the vets and is sleeping now...

Here is a picture of the stapled wound....I just hope it stays put till Tuesday which is when I have to take him back...what do you think??

Poor lad has been very brave. :huggles:

No he didnt Trish..it took about 5 minutes, the vet said he would try to avoid stitching.

It is only the skin that had peeled back, no deeper.

Poor Archie ......Inca had stitches in the same area as Archie ......They healed quickly, but for about a week or so after the stitches had come out if she ran about too much the skin started to slightly split, so just keep an eye on it :huggles: to the brave Archie who's going to look well 'ard wivva a scar 8)

Oh bless him,i'm sure it'll heal up quickly :huggles: ,get the lavender oil on it :thumbsup:

Murph decided to jump a fence the other day with barbed wire on top......he was very lucky to get away with just a 6" surface scratch & bruising.

I wish barbed wire could be banned :rant:

My Alfie (Collie) did that once but he caught a part of himself that only a boy can catch He healed up with no intervention - but he was barking soprano for a while

Im pleased to hear about that Lesley, good to know it healed well with the staples in. I did wonder when I looked at it ... (w00t) but the vet did say stitches may pull more and cause more swelling ....hence the staples.
