Potential injury from glass


  • In the neighborhood where I walk my Bs, I sometimes see shards of broken glass on the concrete and lead them away from the glass. I'm wondering what to do if one of them accidentally steps on a piece of glass … ?? What's the first thing that you should do? Any advice?

    It hasn't happened, but I want to be prepared in case it does.

    Very good question, I would like to know as well. In a dogs lifetime, you know they will get close to broken glass on the streets and what not.


  • I have run into that myself and walked way around. I would just check the Bs foot and if it's cut I would carry it home and treat accordingly. See if there's a piece of glass in there and if I can get it out. If it's a real bad cut it may be off to the emergency clinic.

    @Saving Thanks so much for the information! I am researching further and continuing with her rehab exercises as best I can. Glad you recovered from your spinal injuries.

    I am so sorry that you and poor Rudy have gone through this but that he is improving is wonderful. I have only had one dog with spine injury, in her neck. Fortunately with anti-inflammatory injections, a few chiropractor/vet appts and lifetime use of bromelain, she recovered and rarely had issues. Your dog's injury however is heart stopping. Thank goodness you and your vet acted so quickly before irreversible damage was done.

    My wife's hand is worse where she can't bend her finger or lift objects. I finally got her to go to the doctor, they X rayed her hand and asked her how long she has had arthritis! So this is how she found out she has arthritis at age 48. It seems that her knuckle where she was bit has an inner infection, no broken bones, they put her hand & finger in a splint. The dog bite did not break the skin, but as any body who has been "really" bitten by a basenji knows they have bone crushing jaws. They leave horrible bruises even if they don't draw blood. The dog seems all better still, no more pain attacks. While petting him we noticed a scab on his ear after the fight. It goes all the way through his ear. The other dog bit a hole in his ear, when she tried to finish him!
