[QUOTE="cowboydoc, post: 1889751, member: 8065"] ^^^Worst advice in the thread. As a veterinarian, I frequently see and treat animals who's owners have followed this advice. Just last night I had to euthanize one where it was too late to do anything else. A week earlier, some antibiotics and maybe an x-ray to make sure nothing else was damaged and it would have been fine. Get your dog to a veterinarian where the wound can be evaluated and treated. If you had other dogs in the yard, my first thought would be a puncture wound from a canine tooth. I know....your dogs get along perfectly and would never fight. I hear that a lot, usually when treating a dog that another family dog attacked. You said that they are usually inside, so the fact that you were gone and they were outside adds stress, and when dogs are stress they can get snappy, just like people. If the wounds do end up being a gunshot, then definitely file a police report. [/QUOTE]
