Two days before the dog's 10th birthday, the train ran over the right front paw, the bone was completely shattered and looked out. MVDr. Fiala had to amputate it above his joint. Dick had his paw tied for three days, and when the bandage was changed, the doctor said he didn't like it at all, if the infection still got there, there would be nothing left but killing. However, he remembered an incident from his medical practice, when a patient applied strong rapeseed compresses to his leg after amputation. Therefore, he recommended this method to us. In the morning we prepared strong rapeseed tea (a handful of stems per 1 l of water) and three times a day we immersed the stump in the infusion for five minutes, we also rubbed the wounds with calendula ointment and tied them again. In the next three days, the dog's skin began to regenerate and the wound healed. In 14 days, a satisfied doctor took out the stitches. After a month, the paw was nicely healed and the new pink skin covered all the former wounds. Now we performed "rapeseed bark" only once a day. After two months, he no longer had to wear a bandage, and a hard skin resembling a pillow, the same as on the other limbs, formed on the paw where he had begun to walk. The doctor looked at everything in disbelief and admitted that he had seen everything in black and just didn't want to take away our hope. He recorded this healing success in his book. Dick quickly learned to jump in threes, and when he sniffed messages from friends, he "walks" on all fours.
