Dog injured - Pictures
Discussion
Just asking folks. Anyway booked into vets. Was much smaller last night so we just cleaned it up.
He's not bothered by it and have just cleaned it again.
Will update later. Not really sure they could stitch as it's very thin fur, glue maybe??
Editing to add it's a tear in his fur, skin underneath is fine. Pic looks worse because it's wet. Didn't bleed at all really just a tiny bit on his bed this morning.

Vets. Less scarring and quicker healing if stitched.
Not to mention a little bit less "playing" in the near future to protect the injury.Right been to the vets.
Vet said it would heal on it's own but would take a good 3 or 4 weeks.
So i've booked him in for an op to have it cleared out and repaired.
£180 so not good but could be worse. Other dog owner is paying half as it's was just a playing incedent.
Oh he was playing with a doberman. As i said wasn't a bit more a snag of the tooth, greyhounds are very thins skinned and prone to this.
Just waiting now for the call to bring him home later.

My whippet played with a dobi couple years ago, he ended up with a huge (saucer sized) wound on his chest, through muscle layers etc had to xray as not sure if had got pneumothorax or not, fluids for shock couldn't stitch for 4 weeks. Took 4 weeks of every other day dressing changes then the stitches etc. total bill £1.2k thank god for insurance!!Vet said it would heal on it's own but would take a good 3 or 4 weeks.

The other dog wasn't nasty just got carried away, dobi's do seem to be a bit nippy when playing.
Even more sleepy greyhound tonight then
