First Aid tips?

[BirdWhisperer]

So me and my GSP went out for a little Pheasant hunt yesterday morning, didn't see a bird. When we got back, though, I noticed a small bit of blood on my back car seat so I checked him over thinking he cut hit paw or something. Only then did I notice he had rougly a pinkie-sized flap of skin with flesh showing on his front leg! I'm assuming it's from barbed wire, so I cleaned it out as best as I could with peroxide and covered the area with EMT gel and wrapped it in gauze and tape. The problem is he is a dog and like all dogs, WON'T leave it alone...what do you guys go? It doesn't seem infected and I've been keeping him inside as much as possible...Any suggestions?

What you did is perfect. I would not bother keeping it wrapped up, he is just going to rip it off, and possibly eat it, then you could really have problems. It will heal up really quick.

it might seem expensive but the best one is deff worth it, ive used more out of it then i have ever thought i would have to

What I found ironic last year as I assembled a first aid kit for my dog is that we never assembled a first aid kit for ourselves! This year I'm expanding Kody's first aid kit to one that will cover all of us.

Thanks for all the input guys, my pooch's leg is healing pretty well...hopefully he'll be ready to chase some SD birds this weekend!
