if its swelled get some ice on it peas etc then a rub oil like green rub embrocation for greyhounds or curaco oil

6/8week rest should be ok massage daily

How do know it's a "pulled" muscle? Rest the dog and keep the area cool, before you slap anything seriously cold on there, place some cloth between the dog and frozen stuff.

try and get the use of a magbox as well

the best out there for muscle pulls or strains is a product called trainers choice available from most greyhound stores or greyhound specialist vets this stuff is way out in front of anything else out there also a chinese product called and not sure about spelling is geng shui ie avalable from all chinese herbal shops or on e bay but beware there were copies of this stuff going around on e bay this is also very very good and a bone rub is also available in it for sprains rather than muscle pulls or tears if you ask in these shops they will show you which one to get the 3 of these products are superb for getting your running dog back to start running

jeng shui is the best ive ever used but a very close second is the naf gel for horses its like a tub of hair gel green stuff cant remember what its called it got a yellow lid,also regular massage hot an cold

it sounds like to me that the dog just wants resting untill the brusing is gone your not meant to put ligements on if there is exsesive heat in the area brused ATB MICK

forgot to add get some witch asel from any chemist it will take out the brusing

once the bruising is out trainers choice is brilliant and very highly reccomended by all greyhound vets .
