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

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

training collers for lurcher
Stevebeno replied to Stevebeno's topic in Working Dog Health & Training Talk
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 -

Hi guys my bull cross lurcher is now into his second season of lamping and problems have started. He runs the beam no problem catches rabbit no problem and will retrieve them to hand (not straight away but not a major wait). However this year if he misses a rabbit i turn the lamp off whistle and he doesnt return i can hear him runnning about the field then he comes back. he never did this last year and a after a missed rabbit he would have a sniff at the hedge or hole and return to the slip. I can leave a rabbit or dummy in a feild and lamp this he will pick up and return straight to hand (b

Taking him down the vets just now hopefully wont be to expensive and if they mess around i will start trying your ideas cheers guys

You're right there Miss T -its the only smell thats ever made me gip- literally & worth paying the vet to clear them out-especially if they are impacted. Tend to notice by the constant licking & horrible fishy smell. Other than that if its spreading it could be mange or an allergy Lol....i do it at work...dont even smell them anymore.....if they're not impacted you could enquire at a groomers if they do them would be cheaper but if they are its safer for a vet to do them as they could rupture and cause more problems.... How do you mean 'impacted'?? i have to clear is

Could be mange, take it to the vets mate. Yeh this was my initial thought god knows ..[NO TEXT TALK] had an expirence of this ??

Hi guys just seeing if anyone has had a similar issue with there lurcher before i take him the vets... basically he has an irritation at the base of his tail which has ment he is chewing it abit and its now bold at the base, the same irritation seems to have spread to his hind legs on the sides where the fur has come away. i have fleeded him regular and wormed him so didnt think it could be this its got progressivly worse over the last few weeks any help would be apriciated otherwise its an expensive day out to th vets cheers folks
