Penny just got hurt, it looks awful!

[Baby Blessing]

Dear Shana, so sorry about Penney getting hurt, I agree with not using a regular bandage, I can only use paper tape as am highly allergic to regular tape. I have used the liquid stitches on myself and did fine. I keep Apple Cider Vinergar on hand all the time it is a great disinfect, won't be without it. I get ours at the health food store and use the Bragg brand. It is interesting to read the many uses for it, I am so sold on its use that I bought the Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar Book. One can do research on it's use over the internet to read up about it. I will be watching for update on Penney, please take care of yourself Shana you know our precious ones feel our worries and woes, so put on a big smile for Penney, and your pretty big smile will be tons of healing power for her. Patti and Jack and Baby Blessing
Penney you are in our prayers for a quick healing.

No, at most it'll just burn her some. Most liquid bandages have some alchohol in it and that's why I said to be careful. The new tissue is sensitive no doubt and I just didn't want her to be any more uncomfortable than she had to be.



She should be just fine! And don't try to remove the liquid bandage...it'll come off when it's ready.

Oh that does look terrible... I had a GR that had a really bad gash on the inside of his thigh. It was about the size of my hand and flaped open. Well As soon as I saw it I rushed him to the vet. My vet said it looked like it was a day or two old??? huh he was a inside dog (as are all of mine). I guess he took the pain well. Any way my vet saved the skin although the other vets didn't think it was possable. the though he needed skin grafs. I would take her in to make sure it is cleaned and there are no wood splinters in it. Good luck hun I hope she feels better soon.

The very best wound treatment we have found was one that was recommended by our horse vet - a product called Herbal Wound Spay - manufactured by a company called Laid in Montant. Their website is:
www.laidinmontana.com . On more than one occasion I have seen it heal horrid jagged wounds with little or no scarring.

Give Penny some extra lovin, and you, girl, need a hot bath and a glass of wine!

Im so glad it looks like a clean cut, this is the first cut Ive seen up close so it just grosses me out. That picture is actually really decent since she was curled up when I took the picture. If she lays down like normal its a huge hole that is as wide as it is tall. Plus she actually stretched out her coat/skin trying to pull free, its like all loose and wrinkled. I just want to cry looking at her, I cant belive she isnt hurting right now. This is such a a crazy freak thing to happen. My poor baby. I gotta get off the computer and cuddle with her, she is sitting next to me with her head in my lap. SHe is such a sweetheart.

Do you think I can find that product at a local store?

[chattiesmom]

Shana, I doubt seriously that you will find this Herbal Wound Spray locally. I will soak a couple of cotton balls in it and seal them up in a "seal a meal" bag and get them out in tomorrow's mail. If the wound is deep it will take several weeks to heal and you will want the wound to stay OPEN and heal from the inside out....

If you like the product, you can order some -- they are very good about getting things out in a hurry.

Oh Shana, Poor Penny, that looks so horrible. Sorry, that's not reassuring, but it sounds like you're on top of it. I'm relieved that Penny doens't seem to be in too much pain!! Please keep us updated okay. I'm wishin' her the best. Hang in there!!!

[Amber_lv]

O my gosh I am so sorry this looks so painful. I'm glad Penny is doing ok i would just watch her for tonight and take her in tomorrow. Better to be safe. Take deep breaths and have a drink! It always seems we hurt more than they do sometimes but you are a great mommy and she will gets lots of great TLC please keep us updated on how she is ok.

[red98vett]

POOR BABY ! WOW did she really tear it and I'm so sorry....hearing her scream and cry must have just freaked you out !!! I think that she'll be ok if you keep doing what you're doing....they heal pretty fast. I hope it doesn't scar that beautiful body of hers though.... The upside is girl - it could have been her EYE and what a blessing it happened on her body....

Sending smoochies and get well wishes to Penny - she has the best mom and will be just fine !!

[Marie]

[Patti]

Shana, some Herbal Wound Spray is on it's way, let's hope the zip loc bags hold up Give Penny another hug

[Tophersmom]

Oh, the poor thing. It does look like a big wound. I don't have any advice to add to the wonderful help above, but we'll keep Penny in our prayers that she heals well and quickly and with little pain.

take care, hon.

[alaskayorkie]

Wow, I missed this yesterday. That's terrifying. Thank God you were home at the time! What a freak accident. I'm definitely going to look into getting some liquid stitches and a better doggie first aid kit.

I hope Penny -- and you guys -- are feeling better today.

[Bizzymammabee]

Poor baby. Hope she heals fast. Dont' worry mamma you did well and you are allowed to be a worry wort. That is what makes you a good mamma.

Lex and Lulu send puppy hugs.

[Juliealfies mum]
