In my last expedition to la patagonia we hunted wild boars from horseback ,one of the russian boars injured all the dogs -some of them badly-,furthermore my son almost has an accident running full speed with his horse .Ill post more photos later.Juan

Juan,
I was waiting for info of your adventures on Patagonia but Im sorry for what I hear.
Hope Iki is OK.
Martin

Que lastima, amigazo. Give Iki a strong abrazo for me.....

This is the warrior that destroyed the dogs.Juan

Juan,

When a dog gets cut like that, do you stitch the wound closed or use cyanoacrylates?

George

GeorgeS, I would bet that Juan uses absorbable sutures to stitch them back. Another very quick way would be to use a staple gun like we use for skin or scalp lacerations in the ER/OR. I've never used the glue for large wounds. If a dog is dis-embowelled and still alive, he may have his innards put back inside, a shirt or towel wrapped around him, and carried to the vet for surgery.

My friends yes sometimes i suture the injures with nylon surget because they bite another suture and cut single points ,but its difficult with tigth surgets ,but when there is high risk of infection in superficial and muscle injuries i use SUGAR ,you know that ,we the surgeons sometimes we use sugar to close abdominal wall absceses after ,apendicectomies,SUGAR works perfect 3 times a day in 4 days the dogo ,is OK .Juan

This is the trophy room of my guide in LA PATAGONIA with some of the hogs taken.Juan

The coasts of RIO NEGRO river are invaded by hogs and its water provides very good fishing.Juan

Another tribute gained by the bravery of the dogos !!

I do hope that accident Iki had is something not to worry about

BTW, beautiful trophy "room", very natural !!

During this summer IKI ambushing a hog.

Juan,

I take it Iki is doing fine? How are the dogs healing up? Post a picture, if you have time, on how those wounds are looking. I am just interested to see how the sugar and antibiotics have brought them along over the week+ since the injuries.

Kind regards,
Mary

Mary all the dogs are perfect ,we only used a dosis of atb in only one dog of the 4 injured ,we used only sugar ,i cannot take photos because the dogs are at la patagonia and im in Cordoba ,but trust me this is an old treatment known by most of the surgeons ,i believe you can find about using sugar in infections in the web ,i use a lot to close infections of the abdominal wall ,with great results ,try it..and tell me .Juan

Juan,

Good to hear all the dogs are doing well. I did research on the sugar treatments when you first mentioned them. I, myself, also prefer 'old' remedies over some modern pharmacuticals. Thank you for sharing the info.

Kind regards,
Mary

A common treatment used for us is sugar-dine, which is simply iodine or betadine and sugar mixed into a paste and applied to a wound.

Ann,

Don't know how I had never heard of this. Guess I have been away from the veterinary medical field for too long!

We had used granulex and gentian violet for such wounds. I think the granulex had a similar makeup as the sugar/betadine did.

Sugar is an excellent antibiotic!

Sugar works by changing the PH of the area treated ,besides that,the consisntence of sugar ,facilitates the growing of the tissues.

The Rio Negro ,IKI and Africa

Honey has been used as a wound dressing for thousands of years.And very successfully too ! Has antibiotic properties, increases the flow of leucocytes [speeds healing] and a scab does not form on the wound .I've used it for years [on me !] .I don't know how sugar compares.
