it seems logical that some dogs, such as coon hounds, get bit by the targeted furbearer.
What about disease?

Yesterday a vet told me that even though a dog is vaccinated quarentine is necessary if a dog gets bit. It seems that the vaccines are only 90% effective so prudence is required.
Opinions?

I wouldn't worry to much about this stuff. Keep your dogs rabies shots up to date and keep some Penicillin around. Other then that just cleaning any bite wound and keeping it clean does the job for me. CHP is a real danger to a hunting dog but it won't keep me from hunting. My dogs have been bitten by all sorts of critters and cat bites are the worst. They seem to get badly infected but a shot or two of Penicillin and they are usually back at it in a few days. Take care.

best stuff I've found, is go to your local drug store or farm store, and buy a bottle of Combiotics- miracle stuff on bites and cuts.

I keep their rabies shots current and thats about it. I have had two hounds get Coonhound Paralysis but don"t know of anything you can do to prevent that. One of them came back 100% and one never was the same after it.
