She is in pretty good shape. I can see most of the wounds. There's one that more underneath that's harder to see. I've washed them all with peroxide twice now. I'll see how she is in the morning. She's a blue healer and this is the first time we've seen a beaver. The dogs go exploring all the time.

There once was a dog around here that would go out and fight nutria on purpose all the time. He never saw a vet and far as I know he died of old age.

What exactly are you trying to convince people of? Back in the day there was horrific medicine being practiced on humans and animals alike.

Dont ask the internet if your dog needs to go to the vet. The answer will 100% of the time be yes no matter the issue, and you will be crucified for doing otherwise.

3) take your dog to the VET......
ETA: 1a) drink beer

So, your job is to combat that buy saying we should revert back to days where we did nothing for pets? Using nutria fighting dogs as examples?
Guy is worried about it enough to post. It's clearly bothering the dog. It'll cost <$100 to get a visit and some antibiotics.
EDIT: I do actually kinda get taking a loose approach for something like a pack of pig dogs - more utilitarian view is probably necessary for that. But this post from OP sounds more like his personal, in-home dog. Maybe that's incorrect

You don't have to defend yourself to these people.

The good ole days. When a dog was a tool and they only existed to do their job. I've spent more then a couple hours suturing hog dogs.

This applies to some dogs today, and not to others. Depends on the owner.
My dad has a friend in Nebraska, runs cattle. Keeps dogs for hunting. Doesn't keep dogs that do not hunt......

By some of the responses on here you'd think you and I were advocating something horrible by doctoring your own dog. I've always been a self reliant, "do it myself if I can" type person.
Why head to a vet to pay out hundreds of dollars when you can do it yourself. So many young people today have no clue, or inclination, how to do so many things and would rather "call the man" to have someone else do it for them. Pathetic really.

I’ve had several hog dogs get cut. If it’s just flesh wound, staple em up and start em on antibiotics. Most of the time if they can lick the wound they will lick the staples out. If you can’t staple the dog up yourself and feel uncomfortable go to the vet. But just know she might lick them out and the wound open back up. Keep it sprayed with blue spray. I’m not a certified vet but this has worked for me in the past. Good luck.

If the dog wears the collar like the vet instructs you to put on the dog, then the dog won't be able to rip out the stitches.

Go to the vet. Dog will need antibiotics. Stitches or no-stitches, your dog will lick it's wounds. Dog's mouth (like a human)is full of bacteria used break down food and start the digestion process. Need to make sure the wounds don't get infected, otherwise they will abscess and cost you more money to have them drained, packed and probably a stronger antibiotic. Bite the bullet and go to the vet now. Ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

They sell this at your local ag/feed store. It works really well. My lab had a cut on his ear and I treated it with this blue purple stuff and it definitely works. Warning, don't get it on you, it aint coming off anytime soon.

THIS MAN knows his stuff. I'm very grateful to him for providing insight into what my vet had told me about a rare disease...by Aubie providing just a KEY reference point I was able to have piece of mind. Yes, I brought my dog to the vet and it turned from a rare liver condition to a simple auto-immune condition that only attacks the skin around the nose.
Listen to him.
