Collar Rash
«

Found out the hard way that 5 straight days of duck hunting in rain / wet conditions without changing the Tri-Tronics collar position every day = collar rash on my Lab's neck. Nothing serious, and it does not seem to bother him. I'm cleaning the area twice a day and using Neosporin.
I never actually use the damn thing anymore except for the tone to recall. I need to find a collar with multiple tones so I can do away with my whistle.
Just passing on a lesson learned to all the other noob hunters out there
Cheers!

those darn yellow dogs seem a little more prone to things like collar rash.

Thx for the great advice. Just ordered on Amazon and it will be here in 2 days (gota love Amazon prime 2 day free shipping). I'll keep it clean and use the neosporin until I get the vetricyn.
Cheers!

Ointment isn't good. It needs to dry out and neosporin has the opposite effect. Use oidine to dry wounds out. Also, shaving the hot spot with help. Regular old hair clippers.

Yep you gotta let it dry out.
Its a contact allergy to the prongs. I'd take the collar off when you can during hunting (if you stop for lunch or to move from field to field). Even a few minutes with it off can help down the road.
TT does make either some covers or different prongs for those dogs susceptible to the allergic reaction.

Yes, we have had this problem with my dogs. There are adaptors where they change to a circular pattern of 10 or so smaller prongs that alleviate the pressure.
Not sure about Tritronics, but my collars' prongs can be unscrewed. You might try that if you dont need the stimulation.
