What is your worst animal injury?

[CurlyDave]

I used to hunt feral hogs with a knife. Well actually both a r**** and a knife, some got shot, some got stabbed depending on how easy it looked to move in and use the knife.

One of them gave me a pretty good bite on the left thumb, which we temporarily bandaged with a piece of kerchief and electrical tape.

When I showed up at my Drs. office on Monday morning, he was full of stunned disbelief, but gave me a tetanus shot and a couple of stitches.

(The boar did did get stabbed a few seconds later.)

I used to rodeo after I got out of the Marine corps. The worst animal injury was a high horned brahma in Roswell, NM. I came off in the well was Hun up for about 7-10 seconds I broke three ribs, my wrist, two fingers. dislocate my shoulder and tore a groin muscle. I took a shot of vodka went home and locked my wounds for a couple weeks then went back to it.

Now the worst injury I gave an animal that was not being slaughter.... Unintentionally was sheep shearing this spring. I'll post a pic but I rinsed her leg in cold water for 20 minutes superglued it back together and gave her a quick shot of tetracycline. She is still alive can't tell that she was cut, no limp at all. The cold water took care of inflammation and as it was done immediately after there was little chance of foreign debris so slim chance of infection. The tetracycline took the chance to no chance of infection. super glue is very good for wounds as there are no suture holes to let an infection happen but should only be down on a cleaned cut.
