Infection?

My dogs upper neck on the bottom side. The fur was clumped together and smelled terrible. The fur had a yellow like substance (like puss) and smelled. This happened in one day - the night before she was fine. We did duck hunt this last weekend and Monday

I cleaned with soap and water; and cut the hair down to the skin. It was reddish and a little swollen.

I then put hydrogen peroxide - and it bubbled like crazy; dried it off and put neosporin over the area with puss.

This morning the puss was back and I did the same thing as the night before.

Any other suggestions?

Thats a good point Sabo. E-collars do need to be moved once in a while or they will wear through the skin at the contact points. I make sure to try to position the collar and move it throughout the day if the dog is wearing it all day or multiple days in a row.

That area has a fold in the skin. Air can't get at it so its a good spot for stuff to grow once theres some irritation. Not a lot of blood flow there either so once a staff infection sets in its that much harder to fight it.

Shaving the area will help, keep the collar off.

Cleaning is good but I don't think an ointment is a good idea.

Well not a greasy one that cuts off more air to the area anyway.

I think you'll need to see a vet and get a specific antibiotic.

well after two days the area is alot better then it was. The skin is a little "red" but the puss has stopped.

The collar has been off and we have not been in the field and most likely will skip this weekend.

She hates the hydrogen peroxide - but does not mind the neosporin. It is high on the neck, so she can not lick it. I did shave the area as best as i could.

I will let everyone know tomorrow.

do not continue to debride with peroxide... once or twice is fine, after that it is counter productive. Use warm water on wash cloths to draw out and keep the area clean... neosporin is generally good, allowing air to the area is also good. If in doubt have it checked out by the vet.

Good Luck!

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
