Wild Boar hunting storys folk?

1 year I payed $20,000 just to clear 40 acres . I do most of it myself but sometimes you need help .

 

1 hour walk from 1 fence line to the other .

 

Dam mr Goat...that was just a bit of banter of me further back.
you pay me half that ammount a year and ide up sticks with the family LOL..

No seriosly now.jokes aside.
you must be very dedicated mate.and there no way you can run a land like that if your not skilled.im imagining the work to be never ending in all departments.

Fair play to ya mate.
all the best.

 

It's a never ending job but . When I look at it I know it's all mine and no 1 can take it . I have really big deer because I manage it the right way

 

So I talked to my mother about the two dogs that ate the beaver. Like I said before one died right after the other went blind. My mother said it had something to do with the concentrated fat on the beaver overdosed there pancreas. Similar to diabetes I guess. If any of you could shed some more light on this I would like to know more.

 

Ide really like to no more on that to mate.
ide of come to the conclusion the beaver was contaminated with poison or desiese of some sort?

 

No it was not poison or disease. From what I have gathered a beaver has a huge amount of fat content and from the dog eating so much fat in a short time it caused acute pancreatitis. The one died within hours after eating it the other was 100% blind by the next day. Both were healthy farm dogs the one that died was a collie the one that went blind was a blue healer.

 

Possible I suppose but there are actually a lot of people who feed it raw to their dogs with no problem at all. Most anyone who traps, people way up North that run sled dogs etc. The only thing I found negative about it is you have to watch how much you feed it because dogs will gain weight fast on it.

I did find I'm my vet merck manual that there's a slight chance for rabbit fever (Tularemia). Says it's very rare though. Symptoms aren't what you stated though.

The blinding don't make sense. Was it the collie by chance that went blind?

 

Yes, I have read that it is a common ingredient in sled dog "stew". However, it is cooked

 

The collie died. The blue healer went blind.

 

Theres no way those dogs died and went blind within hours just from fat content.
I've been living with chronic pancreatitis for years that started as acute pancreatitis. The tail of my pancreas is dead. I have 3 stints in right now .. 2 in my pancreas and one on bike duct .. just had a endoscopic surgery. I know a little bit about

 

Well it did die unfortunately. And the other was 100% blind after.

 

Sorry about losing your dogs ! ...but I can guarantee it wasnt from pancreatitis. Who told you that it was pancreatitis? If I may ask.

 

It would have to have blood work done to check the dogs lipase numbers , white blood cells. Potassium, blood sugar, etc..etc..

 

Its strange like..i bet you were like waaaattttt????

Did you (or any one you know)give it to the dogs yourselfs?or did the dogs just find it?if so did they kill it and eat it?or was it just lieing there dead and they ate it?if so how long could it have been dead?
it sure is strange horrible shit.
i could see a over ripe rodent could do this to a dog..but a lot of terriers gobel down rats and dont go blind but some do die..
i personly dont think its the fat content.
it could be.
but i think we need to keep descussing other areas as to what eles it could have been what caused this in 2 healthy farm dogs?

good qestion about the collie AGK.i was expecting it to be the collie what went blind to..Becaue a lot of collies go blind.
its also curios that collies and heelers can live on a diet that would kill a hyena lol.they really have got a strong constitution..
yet this beaver has done this?
its gotta have been the beaver.that i dont dispute.

What about worms?
all wild animals have worms.
i will not feed dogs a raw rabbit un less its been frozen for a mounth or so.
ill boil it.and this is becuse of worms.

It may be ok to give a freshly caught rabbit if you dont give the dogs its head or its guts or liver.as these are the places that hold worms.(rabbits brains carry worm cysts)

tho worms seem to be a little of now i think.
hope you get to the bottom of this mate.and sorry for the loss of your dogs.

 

It was 25 years ago. What happened was my grandfather caught a 70lb beaver in a conibear trap that was chewing up a bunch of trees on his land. Since it was spring the pelt was good so he skinned it out and threw the skinned beaver in the bush. Then the dogs gorged on the skinned out beaver they found and the collie died and the healer went 100% blind. The healer was taken to the vet right away and the vet said that the high amounts of beaver fat was what destroyed her pancreas. The healer was a great dog and they kept her around for a bit after even though she was blind but eventually my grandfather had to do away with her. The healer believe it or not was about the best duck dog that ever lived even though she was not bred for it. At 6 months old she was taken to the lake. My uncle shot a duck and went and got it with his dinghy, let her chew on it, through it out in the lake she went and got it and from then on she retrieved any duck or muskrat that was ever shot. She would go crazy with excitement when someone would take a rifle out. One spring my uncle was shooting muskrats with a .22 in open water but there was still ice around the shore. He shot a muskrat she went to get it and froze up so bad she could not climb out of the water onto the ice. My uncle had to crawl out on his belly so he didn't fall through the ice and drag her up out of the ice cold water onto the ice and she still had the muskrat in her mouth. She was good at working cattle as well. Her name was Amber and she was one hell of a dog.

 

Hey Box Bulldog We had a blue heeler on the farm that we work cattle with. They are one h### of a dog. The Australian cattle dog is part dingo.In the movie mad Max that was a Australian cattle dog. Here in usa people refer to them as heeler or Australian cattle dogs.

 

Lol that was exactly why I asked if the collie was the one that went blind.

 

So I talked with my Grandma today. She's 91 but still pretty sharp for her age that's fore sure. She lives on the farm by herself now, my uncle checks on her every couple days. Any how I asked her about there dogs that ate the beaver. She said the same thing the beaver fat killed the collie and made the healer go 100% blind. Like I said before the healer they kept for a while after she went blind but what I didn't know that she told me is they had to give her insulin shots and some times they would have to pour corn syrup down her throat from that point on. As for worming she didn't know and I doubt those dogs got wormed any to often. Anyhow it is what it is believe it or not.
