jeffers 3 Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 might have ligament damage, keep it on the lead for at least a month. get some radiol to rub on it(greyhoundmegastore). then tape it up when getting the dog fit again. my dogs done three toes in three seasons,i dont run him on hard ground, just a weak spot with him.good luck and be patient.p.s. hope your pups o.k!
