Some clever person thought they'd string some barbed wire across a public footpath at "dog height" just to be helpful.

My dog Bryn was merrily running along and didn't quite make it under the wire.

Forty stitches later......

picture quality is bad sorry,taken by father in law.

the wire opened up a large hole in his back but had to be stitched side to side as there was more stretch in his skin that way.Quite a lot of body tissue from under the skin had to be removed where the wire caught it.

Just remember folks, not everyone likes us walking our dogs along public footpaths.

I really do wish that somebody somewhere would stop the use of barbed wire. Having seen barbed wire injuries up close it makes me go cold.

I hope you poor little dog is better real soon. :luck:

This is the second time this has happened to one of our dogs but by far the worst.

we are not going to walk that footpath again,it has been reported.

He's a sweet dog with a dreadful fear of having a "buster"collar on and panics if you try to make him wear the bucket....unfortunately it's necessary as he will happily remove his stitches given half a chance.

we've previously had to have him re-stitched three times for unpicking his stitches lol

these occasions are also the only time i use a dog crate...the other whippets would happily remove his stitches too :lol:

Oh I feel quite queasy at the thought................I always cringe if we are near barbed wire, we've been lucky so far, but that is just dreadful. Poor Bryn, what a nasty wound :x Hope he feels better soon :thumbsup: :huggles:

Oh, that is horrible. Poor, poor Bryn.

Will he put up with wearing a t-shirt do you think? Josie had an injury recently and she wore a t-shirt for 3 weeks (not the same one, I hasten to add!!). She didn't like it, but it did stop her re-opening the wound.

Good scar prevention action: as the wound starts to heal, massage the area with a little rosehip seed oil. It's fantastic at scar prevention, even better than vit E or wheatgerm. A friend of mine recently had a skin graft and used it, and the dermatology consultant was bowled over by the result. He'd said she'd have a scar for 2 years before fading began, but within 4 months the graft was virtually invisible to the naked eye! Don't know what it is about rosehip, but it's miraculous stuff :thumbsup: I got mine here at a very reasonable £7 with no p&p:http://www.beautynaturals.com/facial/colle.../rosehipoil.asp

Good luck. Let us know how things go :luck:

Poor Bryn :wub: So sorry that he has gone through this

Helen's advice is very good, the t-shirt trick can be a godsend :thumbsup:

Thanks Helen for the advice re rosehip, I shall be getting some of that too
