For those of us who use hog panels and cut them to fit the proper length. Make sure to cut off all the stubs of the horizontal bars that are left. '
Our dog ran thru a gate that was open only 18" and the post had a hog panel attached to it. Some one had cut the panel to fit but left 1" of the horizontal rods protruding. Well our dog got one caught in her rib cage and tore her flesh a good 5 inches and down to her ribs. She has a drain in her now to be taken out this Thursday. So be cautious with everything you do. This was an expensive ER Vet bill. She came home early this morning and doing good but not too active and all doped up.

Not only do I not leave them long I grind them smooth just so something like that doesn't happen hope your dog is ok
 
Same thing for gate hinges. I bought a bull one time from a large operation. When we were sorting them,one ran in to the hinge where it was sticking out the other side of a post and impaled himself pretty bad. He drove it in to his shoulder all the way to the post.
 
poor puppy good you got to bring her home. i hate when one of our family pets gets hurt.
one of our dogs died just before thanksgiving not a happy day.
Tall Kid and i buried him in one of his 2 favorite spots to lay. when spring comes we will pant some flowers there
 
I love dogs, but I don't think any of us can anticipate and remediate EVERY possible thing that can hurt them.

Stuff happens.

Many years ago, I was walking in the pasture with my dog when she spied and chased a rabbit.

There was a helluva noise when she ducked under a bale elevator parked out there and ripped her head open even more than the damage to your puprin and she bled like a stuck pig, but survived and healed and recovered with NO $$$$ professional intervention, as your dog likely would have. Dogs are TOUGH, TOUGHER than their modern-day owners.

Back in those days we didn't have $$$ to throw at a dog, like what is done now, and they still for the most part survived.

Sorta like us farm kids did "back in the day".
 
Many years ago we took in a stray cat and he was staying inside a storage area, somehow he slipped/fell onto the box of wooden tip-ups. You could see one square corner went under his arm making a pretty good gash and small hole. He survived just fine.
 
Yes years ago folks didn't have money for their pets' care. I wouldn't have been able to sleep if we didn't get her taken care of.

Now days if some one see a pet with such an injury that wasn't cared for we could have been turned in for animal cruelty. This way we got pain medicine for her and antibiotics.
 
Just got done reading bio of a blacksmith in WW1. Had a horse that went 3000 lbs wrangler brought him back from front with a gash in his shoulder . next day it was full of puss so he fished in there and pulled out a 6" x 7" piece of cast iron. Poured in boiled water sewed him up with a rubber hose in the bottom. a week later he was back at work.
 
Ouch. Sorry, about the new year luck. You may want to get a dog boot or layers of child size socks on her left rear foot. As it heals it may get ichy, I'm sure you and her, would hate to rip it open again, scratching it. Not meaning to be grusome or anything, could you post a close up picture, of the stich tecnique/pattern? It may come in handy in the future. best regards...MTP
