Ndure4ever Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Duke got out ....again, this time with blood on his face. The smell helped me realize it was probably road kill. Duke is up to date on all his shots. Should I be worried? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuskyMom09 Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 I'd treat for worms for precaution- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed #5 Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 First I'll agree with HuskyMom09 - treat for worms and watch for stomach upset. But you have me a bit confused, blood in a dead animal coagulates quickly, road kill at - say - 24 hours shouldn't have any free blood. And shouldn't smell like road kill till well after the 24 hours. Since dogs, like their wild counterparts, tend to go for the "guts" first - and intestinal juices are rank you might want think twice about the "road kill" aspect.

Mazz Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Make sure he is current on rabies. Also agree on worming now, then again in three weeks to break the cycle. We have our vaccinated for leptosporosis every year, as many wild animals are carriers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
