Recently while visiting my sister, her daughter showed up in the middle of the night with her beloved Honey, a beautiful pit bull boxer mix. She was named Honey because she was the color of honey. A hunter had mistaken her for a deer we can only assume. She was shot in the hindquarters with a large portion of her hip missing, the girl didn't know what to do and no one was open for a few hours yet.

The wound was fairly clean and I thought best not to disturb the tissue until a vet could see her. I took a roll of saran wrap and wrapped her entire lower body, to keep it clean, and prevent the tissue from being damaged any further. We got her to the vets as soon as they opened and with surgery they were able to save the leg.

The vet said the saran wrap was the best thing we could have done. Thought this would be useful to others in an emergency.

Thank you! Having two dogs and a cat and parrot, that excellent emergency tactic will be remembered here.

I hope by now that Honey is recuperating. It was a good thing that you were thinking straight.
