How is the doggy doing now? Our daughter is a registered veterinary technician (an RN for animals). She's helped us save alot on vet bills but we still spent too much last year in that area. Can't afford to do that this year. Gotta do what needs to done!

@VivianRinSC that dog is doin great. thanks....4 more weeks

There's nothing wrong with doing it yourself. Why pay the so called experts? We should all be experts ourselves. Knowledge has become compartmentalized and it shouldn't be. This should be common knowledge!! Just like growing plants and raising animals... and children, lol. Now people are more worried about what their favorite celebrity is doing instead of what REALLY matters. Great job ironhead and daughter!! Hope it heals properly!!

I love that you did this video. People just don't realize what it will be like if we don't have a vet to just run to if something happens.

@gunsndrums1 set up a livetrap with a hot dog as bait. I had the same thing happen shot him with a .22

just a suggestion... try to get hold of some novocaine... in particular litocaine... syringes can be purchased at the farm supply.... litocaine not sure... anyway... you will not have to hear the dog scream, so will be able to take your time and concentrate better... plus if it is a larger dog or animal it will be a HUGE help... easy to muscle around a small dog, but not so much others... please update us on how this worked out!

You're the man Sam, that is great to know how to do stuff like that!!!

I agree with taking dog to vet and getting the leg set correctly... xray etc. However, I respect your care and love for the animal even though the dog screaming in pain makes me uneasy. In the event of SHTF how will we care for man's best friend? I guess it depends on how you guys want to look at it. Ironhead provided pain relief and set the dogs leg... I bet the dog will be fine... do followup video ironhead!

Hey, ironhead, could you help me with a problem that i've been having with my chickens? One morning my mom heard my chickens scwaking and all that stuff. Turns out a raccoon was killing one of them. It wasn't in the coop, but it reached in and killed it. Then 2 days ago, when me and my dad were going to to shoot our guns at the range, we got a call from my brother, telling me that there was a rabid raccoon, (because it was out in the day) was trying to get one of em, but it failed,thank the lord
