The dog of a walker very seriously injured by a boar the weekly Chasson.com newsletter
November 18, 2021
One of our readers told us this morning in a news item which took place a few days ago in the forest and who could most certainly have cost this poor dog..We wanted to relay it.Yesterday afternoon, we went with my mother, walk my two female dogs in a path bordering fields, hedges and other ronciers or brush.At the bend of a turn, the 2 female dogs detailed very quickly.Have they seen, have they sniffed something?Without a doubt.I call them, I whistle them, they don't come back.They usually obey the finger and the eye.One of them begins to bark, the other comes home and comes out of a radiate.They are 100 meters from us.I call them, without success.Then, everything goes very quickly: noises, groans, my mirabelle female dog comes out of the radius and sets in the way.Something happened.I run to meet him, as best I can.She's a bloody face, that's what appears to me first.She's shaking.She is frightened.I approach her, I discover 3 bloody and ballant wounds.Their appearance makes me think of wounds caused by a razor blade.I know it now, there are one or more wild boars in the Roncier.My mother calls my husband and my son.My other Leontine female dog, continues to bark.I do not see her.I guide myself to barking and approach.I fear for her.Then again a noise of undergrowth trampled, and the barking of the female dog which moves away: it followed wild boars.My husband and my son arrived.I go home with Mirabelle who still works despite his condition.I don't know how it is possible! My husband immediately leads her to the veterinarian.My mother and son are looking for Léontine who, fortunately, comes back fairly quickly.The balance sheet is heavy, the photo in the veterinarian speaks of herself.In addition to the wounds, the thorax is perforated: 1h30 of intervention, a Redon is laid and 24 hours of surveillance.A 10 -day treatment with 2 different analgesics (painkillers) and antibiotics is administered.The veterinarian tells us that he performs more and more interventions of this kind on dogs, hunting or not, because of wild boars.Hunters are absolutely necessary.Let them act.Today, my dog has been injured, but tomorrow ...?If it is not the hunters, who can or can intervene?It is about our safety and serenity.I did not specify that we were, with my mother, 200 meters from the house, located in a hamlet of a dozen dwellings (therefore a dozen families).Celine Pungent
