A lot of wire cuts are from downed wire laying around on the ground. It depends on what kind of wire it is. There are about 1000 kinds of wire, some gone out of production 100 years ago. Some of it is barbaric. But it's still out there and it cuts just as fine today as 50 years ago. If you haven't had a serious cut, you are fortunate and should buy a lottery ticket, or, you don't hunt much, or around barb wire, or some dogs are so slow physically, have no fire in their bellies for birds, or walk on your heels in cover, to run into a fence and get hurt. If that is your case, my condolences!

A guy gave me a bottle of PetSmart brand metronidizal not sure if it was good or not but it did seem to work well.
Do you give it at the first sign of the craps or do you hold back food for a day first and then give it if things don't improve.
Recently I bought a new rectal thermometer at target, it gets a reading in about 15-20 seconds! The thermometer and a 50 probe covers cost $8. Another item I recently added was a cloth muzzell plus a roll of duct tape to help keep vet wrap on.
What's everyones opinion of EMT gell? I am starting to question its value as I always carry it and have yet to find a need to use it?

first aid kit
i have narrowed my kit down to the things that i have actually used, like betadyne, antibiotics, gause and pliers and duck tape, that's it. a friend of mine also carries a stapler. when he actually did use it it was cause he wanted to try it more than really needing it, forgot aspirin and with that be careful

I have been to the vet for stick punctures, dog fight (farm lab ripped my 95 pound males skull open but that is another story), porcupines, etc. but in 30 years of hunting with a dog, I haven't had to go to the vet for barbed wire. I try to spend 50 days a fall a field, some years more some years less, but it is a good average. Yes, I consider myself lucky, I have seen plenty of scratches and minor skin tears, if they can lick them I let them and if they can't I put some EMT gel or sauve on it. The big male that is not with me any more would jump 4' tall wire fences and make it over MOST of the time. Scared the hell out of me more then once when he was hanging by one or two legs twisted in the fence (amazed he didn't break bone)
. That dog was a great hunter but he didn't fear anything, I could write pages or a book about that dog (probably most of you have had a dog(s) that you could do similar with). :cheers:

it takes birds to make a bird dog, right, you can only read them so many books and then you have to take them into the field. ya can't teach a dog to hunt, he may teach you a thing or two about it, really, if you have a decent dog, all you can do is teach him some manners, they either got it or they don't, just like us

Sounds like this is getting personal. This thread is about wire cuts I thought

Oops lost track of this thread. I tend to try something right away if I see blood, snotty covering mixed in stool of runs for a couple dumps. Probiotics for the most part now stop all that for me too. Great stuf.
Just posted...and have done some research on this subject.
There are three brands of "glues" that can be used on dogs: Vet Glue, Vet Bond and Liquid Vet. All a type of Super Glue(s) which was originally used to close wounds in Viet Nam.
After cleaning the wound, just place a few drops to close the wound - it can be used when the wound is wet. 3M makes one of these glues. I did order some, on Amazon.
Easier than staples??
