the dog has damaged the ligament under the toe - people call it knocked up toe or a kicked up toe. the toe has swollen up on its nuckle joint - apparently the swelling wont go down cos its a build up of calcium

I used to have a bitch that had a knocked up middle toe on her back foot and after an initial 6 weeks rest the toe was ok, I just kept the nail short. I dare say if it had been an outside toe the problem could have been worse.

My bitch Knocked her Toe up as a youngster,i was told to cut her nail back to the Quick to make it Bleed thereby releasing the Pressure on the Toe.She has never had a Callous on the Toe.

i believe the reason why they knock their toe up is when the dog is either turning or when it puts all its pressure on its toes. common problem is leaving their nails too long - i've been told to cut them every fortnight.

 

if the dogs toe is knocked up i've been told to rest for at least 6 weeks and put iodised oil on which can be bought from greyhound sites on internet. also told to cut it back to the quick but couldnt do this to my dog - decided rest is best!

thats an effective way of doing it and maybe the quickest way of getting the dog running again,i cant do it though so i went to see a greyhound specialist and he gave me something called blister,u paint it on the swallen area.that works very well.
