My darling Chrissie Ch Birkonbrae Everlastin Love had a very bad injury and my wonderful vet Jeremy put in drains, hardly a scar and no white hairs.  Lovely photo of Badger


Dear Patsy, you are sweet, and it's charming when people support their vets. Doubtless when yours gets his board certification, he'll be presenting papers to the soft tissue surgeons of three continents to explain how he does it. In the meantime, TC might like to keep an eye on what looks at first glance like a dorsally sutured skin flap to make sure there's no fluid build up underneath it that would need a drain...

ms (who is an anaesthetist, so the only drain she's ever inserted in her life is in her own lurcher, who's long haired and many-coloured => she has no idea whether it scarred or not)

Dear Ecini

I'm sure TC is appreciative of your concern, however she is a former vet nurse and well qualified to staple her own dog and assess the need for a drain or not. Having seen Badger (as we took the photos) 2 days afterward, and having spent the better part of the week with him I can assure you that your concern is misplaced as the wound is healing beautifully and there is no swelling or fluid. I also would like to point out that what you can see in the photo does not show that there was enough opening left to drain if required.

While TC wouldn't remotely suggest that someone else do this to their dog, she is well qualifited to assess the situation with her own.

Now back to our regular scheduled programming :p

TC - The badge man is looking stunning, have had to keep PS away from my laptop to prevent drooling on the keyboard :thumbsup: :D
 
Thanks Jo, at least he has one lady after him :- " He's had Drama hanging off him for a couple of days (and not in a romantic way (w00t) ) so he'd be pleased to know that Miss PS thinks hes looking nice 8)

His wound is doing very well. No doubt it will scar, but we're getting used to that now :wacko: If only he could get injured on the white bits :clown:

Ahh yes, but poor Frankie badly skinned his knees - and now he has black scars on his white legs!! :lol:

You can't win! The stripey's seem to hide the scars well though :thumbsup:

something that I have found that works really well for scarring is Propolis creme, it would grow hair on a golf ball!

Ooh - will have to give that a try - thanks for that.

Wendy (Now where can I find a golfball..... :clown: )
 
As regards the Propolis creme, well Im glad that you are all interested, I actually heard about it ages ago on Channel 4 racing and thought Id get some in Whippets being what they are! And when I needed it it worked. Another one of Natures marvellous remedies!

fantastic pics TC :thumbsup:

badgers such a yummy bear :wub: :wub: :wub: :huggles: :huggles: :huggles:
 
Propolis is great for boosting the immune system, I sometimes use the propolis granules - I know the dad of a family friend of mine used to give propolis granules to his pigeons and when a nasty bug was going round which killed a lot of pigeons in the neighbourhood, his were fine :thumbsup:

Sorry a bit 'off-thread' but still interesing nevertheless.
 
Yes Jo, in actual fact when I heard about Propolis on channel4 racing it was in connection with a race horse called Bee Health Boy owned by the guy who owned the Bee Health company. Everyone was remarking on how well the horse had wintered and the trainer put it down to the fact that the owner had made sure that the horse had been kept on Propolis.

Sounds useful....wonder what kind of nasty 'bugs' in canines it could help??? Think Jo ought to write a little piece or explanation for us. :thumbsup:
 
Oh my - how handsome is Badger :wub: :wub: :wub: :huggles:

Those are seriously fantastic photos :thumbsup:
