I do everything. I have no formal training, only back yard and what I saw a vet do while young and at home. Not sure if you can buy freezing where you are but we can. I have froze and then stitched with fish line. Most people don't know or don't care but most animals, and dogs especially have there own bacteria fighting ability. A dogs saliva is a great antibacterial agent and most dog wounds need no stitching at all. I have replaced the calf bed on cows and stitched the hole shut just like the vets do. I use baler twine and pump her full of penicillin for 3 days and there good to go. Just can't forget to take out the stitches before they calve again. never lost one yet.
Had a horse rip open a 6 inch cut with a 3 inch flap hanging out of it. Little freezing and stitched with fish line. Abscesses I just take a sharp utility knife, cut it open and rinse out with iodine. Taking animals to a vet for anything other than a c section to me is a waste of time. I have performed one c section with my dad telling me what the vet did, (I myself have never seen it done before) we froze the cut area slowly and made the cut took out the calf and no problems. Just work in clean environment.
A lot of it has more to do with how much you can stand then what the animal can go through. After all they are just animals, and if something goes real bad , a little lead fixes it. I have had less die on me than what the vet killed on my dads farm when I was at home.
