My Beagle got into a fight with something and he had some pretty bad gashes. We have a WONDERFUL Local Veterinarian who makes house calls (I know!) and I asked her to come see if he needed stitches or not. (Of course Beau was not home when this happened!)

Anyhow, she sedated him, looked him over well, and had me mix up a pan of warm water and Dawn dish soap and used that to clean his wounds. She says Dawn is a ‘modern miracle invention’ and she uses only that brand when she needs to.

$225.00 later, we were all Happy Campers. Well, the Beagle was happier a FEW days later - he didn’t need any stitches. :)

the poor baby. how wonderful that he didn’t have the trauma of going to the vet along with his injuries. $225 doesn’t sound much higher than going to a vet’s office.

I hope your dog healed up! it’s hard to see them hurting

That is truly amazing and wonderful to hear. Especially since gardeners often get dirt into scratches, and that can lead to infections.
