Well, I didn't mention it yesterday in the story but Spark got a cut on her leg while tracking that buck yesterday. Its between her paw and elbow. I talked to vet when I got home and I sent him pics of it. He said I would be fine to keep it clean and put triple antibiotic on it. She's favoring it really bad today. I think she got into to one of the fences while chasing the buck. Her leg is swollen pretty good today from the cut to her paw. Looks like she's gonna be down several days over this one.

I had to turn down a couple tracks because of it and I'm reminded of the story about Jerry Clower and coon huntin with a wheel barrow grin

Look into DR Underwood horse medicine. I've never had a need to use it on a dog but it works wonders on horses. I assume if is safe for dogs. We used to keep a case on hand for horses. It is the only thing I have seen that would allow the hair to grow back on a bad wound.

My cousin told me about this and he gave me a bottle of it last night. He thinks she's done for the year. I really hope not because she was hitting on all 8 cylinders lately.

You take great care of that good looking dog.

I'm real partial to the brindle OMC dogs.

I think your pup is just beautiful.

She's a different shade of brindle than my dog, Sadie.

I have really enjoyed reading your thread this year.

Wishing Spark a speedy recovery. thumbup

I would get the vet to give her some good antibiotics just in case. If she didn't have any ligament damage she will be back to tracking in a couple of weeks.

I've been nursing Spark all week in hopes of having her better for this weekend. I had to turn down 5 tracks this week. I came home from work yesterday and checked her. She'd been getting around real good for a couple days and her wound looked better. I got a call yesterday morning and decided to take it and see how she done. The hunter had shot a buck with a crossbow and 2 of his fletchings had came off midflight and he wasn't sure where he had hit the deer.

I got there 8 hours after the shot and got my camera on and turned her loose. She picked the track up and was gone. I stayed close to her the whole time to see how she was doing with the leg. She acted like nothing was wrong and was doing good. We were finding a drop of blood about every 80 to 100 yards. The deer got to an opening where some construction was going on and he bled pretty good there. He crossed the site and we picked him back up on the other side. I never saw another drop of blood.

She ended up getting the deer up and took him over a ridge and he was looping back to where he was shot. She ended up baying the buck and the hunter couldn't keep up, so I told him where she was and I left him.

She had him bayed in a nasty cutover. I got ripped up trying to get to em. The buck heard me coming and broke but ended up holding up again about 50 yards away. I was able to crawl up a dead log and get above the briars and finish him off. I was running the go pro on myself and the freakin battery died about 10 seconds before I shot him. We tracked him about 8-900 yards total. I forgot to clear her previous track to know exactly. The buck ended up being shot in the shin!

I get her home and as soon as she gets out of the truck, she's favoring her leg again. The wound looks better but I'm gone have to give her another week to get better.

congrats, hope Sparks leg gets better.

do you use a tracking harness on her??? I used a tight fitting harness of bright orange on my dog for years and an orange reflective collar. If she was off the 50" lead I wanted a bunch of orange on her. Once the tailgate drops any plan YOU had is out the window as you know.

I don't use a harness Fred. I use an Alpha 100. I ordered her a blaze orange vest and I'm waiting on it to get here. It also has reflective strips on it. I feel like I've been gambling when I'm tracking during daylight hours with her. It should be here one day this week.
