Saved dog
Hi Someone dropped a dog off in our area and we took him in. It was during
the coldest of the winter we have had so far. I am use to cats having 4 but dogs I am just learning about. My issue is the dogs privates have what I think is frost bite( if someone has a better idea of what it could be that would be great). I am not sure though., They look like the skin has been torn off and have red blotches. I am going to be getting the dog fixed but am not able to for at least a month. This might be the only thing I can do but I am looking at a temp solution because he keeps biting at them and licking them where they are sensitive. Is there anyone who can recommend something I can do for now to try to help him. He is a sweet dog and I want to do what I can for him. In a way he has saved my life as I have his. If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it. Thank you. |

Do you understand what frostbite is???? |

With frostbite the skin typically turns black and often edema develops. It's possible that the skin froze to a cold surface (it's been known to happen with the dangly bits) and was torn off when the dog moved. I agree with your broader point about the necessity of getting the dog to the vet, though. -- Melinda Shore - Software longa, hardware brevis - If you can't say it clearly, you don't understand it yourself -- John Searle |

Well I contacted the vets...and have talked to atleast 4....they have told
me from the colouration and what is going on with him it is NOT frost bite. I also have made arrangements to get him fixed which will take care of the whole problem . almost every vet said it sounded like a skin irritation like eczema. He will be fixed with in the week anyway. I just want to thank those who gave advise and not preachy sermons. If you noticed in the original message I didn't say I wasn't going to take him to the vet ..just wasn't going to get him fixed till next month. I just needed some more immediate advice and appreciate those who gave it. "The McLeans" wrote in message ... Hi Someone dropped a dog off in our area and we took him in.
