[Ansteorra] Stray dog

[Bhadra]

Kionna, I'm not a vet but the answer is pretty easy, clean the wounds just
like you would do with a person and bandage them with gauze and bandages.
Use hydrogen peroxide to clean the wounds and plenty of water. Take the dog
to the SPCA.

Subject: [Ansteorra] Stray dog
 
We have a large stray dog that's been hanging around the house for a couple
of weeks that we've taken to feeding when he's here, show up on our porch
yesterday, apparently having been hit by a car.  He has a 1 inch long by
about 1/2 or so deep gash on his front leg.  Lots of swelling from the joint
down to his paw, but he can walk on it and even run so I'm assuming it's not
broken.  He has a few other small gashes on his nose and his front shoulder
area, but seems to be ok other than that.
We're hoping he doesn't have any internal injuries, but he's eating and we
ve seen him go to the bathroom so we're hoping it's not that severe.  Anyway
 Orion and I want to help him out as much as possible so, atm we've stuck
him in the backyard giving him plenty of food and water... since you can see
every damn bone on this dog (hates it when animals are neglected)... but,
now we need to know the best way to keep his wound clean so it'll heal and
minimize infection.  If anyone is a vet or knows one that wouldn't mind
sharing some information it would be much appreciated.  If they don't want
to post to the list and would rather call ... my cell phone # is
405-219-1424 and mundanely my name is Kionna.
