having the toe pin fired might work, but it's finding a vet that'll do it now, my thoughts , youd be better getting a retired vet if you can, either that or cross over the water to have it done----good luck--den

had lurchers 15 yrs 1st one had knocked toes and struggled all her hunting life only ok when retired,last one last year run a deer on cliff tops middle of summer (not intended by the way ) and she fractured a middle toe never knew till she never got better and went to the vets only to find tha fracture not healing right so had it off right tight up to knuckle joint but left a stub as if they took all of to knuckle it gets complicated going through the rear pad she was out of action for a month or two but now ok on soft ground but runs a bit gingerly when on dried worked land but if the conditions are right ie soft for running the larger breeds of running dogs them should be fine mate

total cost of bill roughly 200 quid all in with dressings and tablets

all the best bud

long time since i had dogs with sore toes ,but if you have to take a toe of better getting just the nail of and fire pinned , never saw adog sound once you have to take toes of after a few hard days they seem to go lame especaily on hard stubble land or a spell of dry weather, alot of whippety type seem to knock up localy , or dogs to heavy for there feet , sorry to here that you need to give them along lay of and well try to run him on beter ground

I had a dog which had to have a middle toe off on the front, it didn,t make any difference to him, If the problem is at the front of the toe the vets can leave a bit of the toe as some surport for the other toes....

got same problem mate front outside left but bit swollen just now had at vets and got medicationif to bad going to have decision to make got strapped up just now hope he be ok
