Kim, in El Rosario, is indeed incredible with all the work she does re dogs and cats in that area. I have brought a few of her rescues back to Canada
for adoption over the years. Please say "Hi" from me - Barb in Canada - if you see her soon.
I always stop by to see her each year when I'm going South and North but I missed her this year. Could you also tell her "Misha" is doing Really
Really well and has an awesome family in Victoria.
Thanx

update: we went to a vet associated with bajadogs.com and told him situation. he gave us tranquilizers and we hoped to bring blackie in that night as
we'd just seen the group of dogs before going to vet. but no, dogs were gone. then we saw them around 7:30pm and vet closes at 8pm. so didn't have
time for drug to work and get to vet. plus, it's not a good time of days cuz dogs seem to travel across the street looking for 'mario'. we met him
later that evening and told him we'd like to get dog treated at vet. he seemed good with it. since then, it's been cat and mouse trying to find the
dogs.
so we went back to vet, asked for some type of topical antibiotic to give in the even we see dogs when vet is closed (which seems to be often the
case).
blackie is still doing good, though wound is gaping.
i don't see link for inserting photos but when i find it, i'll share pic.

well, we've been back in socal for almost 2 months. In cleaning out my inbox, I realize that I never followed up on Blackie.
The short of it is, she was healing on her own quite well last time we checked. Wound had closed and her friend was continuing to lick it,
encouraging drainage.
We'd bought a tranquilizer, antibiotic spray, visited vet's office twice, seen her once or twice a week and decided to leave things as they were.
She'll have an ugly scar but my husband thinks it will heal up completely. He compared it to a non-show cow/horse injury.
So again thanks for all the replies. Thinking it's still quite hot there. Enjoy the shade and tacos for us. Carol

Thank you for a good story (and with the happy ending!) I am often too scare to read any Mexican dog related posts as they just break my heart. But
as I am getting ready to get to Baja again soon, I am trying to read up just in case I can do something to help.
We are headed to Baja next month and probably stop in La Paz too. If you see the dog I will let you know how she is doing.

Buenos Dias, Kell-Baja, BajaGringo, Mika, Dr.Tom and the rest...
Sitting in a tea shoppe in Idyllwild this fine Sunday morning enjoying the mountains, trees and air.
Mika, I would LOVE to hear that Blackie is still cruising along. She is most likely pregant, FYI. The terrier had mated both females over a 3 week
period. You'll probably see the dogs along the malecon during the day, and late evening, they'll stroll with Manuel (I think I remember correctly) on
the business side of street, getting cans from trash barrels. He feeds them from barrels, too - fresh throw-aways. I'm including pic of the trio.
Dr. Tom, Blanca was continuing to lick wound even when it had closed, which I think is probably pretty essential for drainage and keeping it open
enough to heal from the inside. Hope so.
Thanks again to all and Happy Sunday! cj

yes, licking can keep it "debrided" but for it to eventually heal, id recommend maybe polysporin or some kind of antibiotic ointment 2-3 times a day
without any steroids (ie hydrocortisone).....and possibly an "elizabethan collar" so the dog cant lick it....
