First weekend and my Brittany is on the DL for a week to 10 days. She was hunting a grassy field with no fences in the area. She made a pass by me and was literally covered in blood. She had ripped a pretty big gash on the inside of her left rear leg. Blood was pouring out and with her running hard through the grass it was getting all over her body. I thought she maybe had multiple wounds. Got her back to the vehicle and washed off the blood to just find the one wound. Got the bleeding pretty much stopped so I used my surgical stapler to close the wound, treated it with an antibiotic spray then wrapped it in gauze, vet wrap and athletic tape. I cleaned her up more when I got home last night and re-bandaged the wound. I am taking her into the vet this afternoon to have them look at it just to make sure it doesn't become a problem. She was hobbling around on 3 legs last night but today is running on it and seems fine.
Careful out there guys and make sure you have a fully stocked first aid kit with you. We have to take care of our 4 legged friends.
