Thanks for the advice skycat. i have stopped all running but when let out in the garden he still chases next doors cat the squirrels and pigeons... then realises he has a bad foot and comes in with a very slight limp. The lumping is soft so i think this could be swelling I am from stoke on trent / stafford area do you know of any greyhound vets in this area mines just a pet vets and probably wont have a clue

Willow here is a picture of the foot i shall put more up. If you look on the right hand side there is a lump which i think is swelling which runs diagonnally across the 2 knuckles

Any ideas guys?

Anyone??

Gents I took the lurcher out for his first mooch of the season 2 weeks ago. I managed to get him the one run which he caught no problems. We carried on looking for more rabbits with the dog keen to keep going. Nothing else showed itself and as usual i checked the dog over when we got home for any minor injurys all was fine. Next morning i let the dog out into the garden when i noticed he refused to put any weight on his front foot. Clearly in pain i shut him in his kennel for rest that week checking him daily. A hard lump had formed across two of his knuckles but. After a week the limp ha

Cheers guys thanks for the feedback all the best

Hi guys just wondering if anyone has has the same problem. i have noticed my bull x lurcher elbow on his front right leg has swollen up. he seemed to have no pain so he has been out on the lamp a few times since noticing this 2 weeks ago. after the last lamping session he ran well no pain or issues then on way home he couldnt lay down due to pain in what i thought could be this lump in his elow. next day fine no pain jumping and running about fine as usuall i took him the vet tonight she has given anti inflamitries and told him to rest. thinking it could be where the ligiments have pulle

Hi thanks for the reply. basically i have not long started running my lurcher for his second season. i have trained the dog to a satisfactory level ofm obidence ect and last season the dog did great retrieve catch rabbits everything was fine. this season is a diffrent matter he will catch rabbits retrieve as before retrieve dummys anything i ask of him. however if he misses the rabbit i swich the lamp off and whistle him back. he ignores this and sniffs about the field and has a trot about then returns after a short while. this is something he has never done and i am worried that he may begin
