[Ansteorra] Stray dog

[Kionna]

I'd ask for the shelter information, but unless something unforeseen comes up I know Orion and well getting rid of the dog at this point is probably pretty much a pipe dream :) ... we had two other strays show up about two months ago that we adopeted because they were puppies.  I wasn't planning on having a dog, at least until i got out of nursing school, but now it looks as if we have three.  Honestly what I was needing most was advice on how to care for his wounds and you guys have all been very forthcoming with that, and it is definately much appreciated :)

Sometimes, you can call a vet and they will see a stray animal for free, not common, but it has been known to happen. Good luck , I hope your find someone.

Use hydrogen peroxide to clean the wounds and plenty of water. Take the dog to the SPCA. -------Original Message------- From: Kionna Peebles Date: 5/6/2008 7:20:30 AM Beth To: ansteorra at lists.ansteorra.org 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 inc> h 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. _________________________________________________________________ Stay in touch when you're away with Windows Live Messenger. http://www.windowslive.com/messenger/overview html?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_Refresh_messenger_052008 _______________________________________________ Ansteorra mailing list Ansteorra at lists.ansteorra.org http://lists.ansteorra.org/listinfo.cgi/ansteorra-ansteorra.org _______________________________________________ Ansteorra mailing list Ansteorra at lists.ansteorra.org http://lists.ansteorra.org/listinfo.cgi/ansteorra-ansteorra.org _______________________________________________ Ansteorra mailing list Ansteorra at lists.ansteorra.org http://lists.ansteorra.org/listinfo.cgi/ansteorra-ansteorra.org > > _______________________________________________> Ansteorra mailing list> Ansteorra at lists.ansteorra.org> http://lists.ansteorra.org/listinfo.cgi/ansteorra-ansteorra.org
