Dog smacked his head?

[Edd_Wiltshire 9]

Hi All,

 

Out for a mooch last night, had a monster run, real cracker, seemed to last for minutes.

 

Dog was fine if not a little tired! anyway slowley wondered to the next fields to give the dog a chance to catch his breath, slipped him on a rabbit about 100 yards away, hammered it up then down the hedge then it went it, dog must of smacked his head on a fence post pretty hard as the green mould had come off onto his bonce.

 

Anyway we called it a day, he seemed fine. Got home and he seemed a bit strange, kept having a really funny cough as if something was stuck in his throat, i checked it out and nothing, he ate and drank fine but the cough persisted. Could this be related to his head whack? is it a kind of concussion?

had dogs hit trees full on mate and fence posts,a cough is prob the last thing id be concerned about,although none of mine have had one,have you checked its teeth,may be worth a look,how is the dog acting,trip to the vet may be in order

last summwer my dog ran full tilt past my mates bitch as he did she turned her head directly into his path!! and ohhh i never heard a more disgusting sound as there heads met!! luckily she was fine after an inital yelp!! but he looked like he had broken his back it was arched right under him and he lost all coordination to his back legs!! he kept falling and crossing them over each other!! luckily it soon wore off apart from bieng wobbly when he cocked his leg up a tree!! lol!! as for a cough i never noticed anything out the ordinary!!!

Yeah, if it was just a cough i wouldnt of posted, it was the fact that this werid cough started straight after he smacked his nogin. Will keep an eye on him, think it was a mixture of a smacked head and hurt pride for losing his prey!

Was there any wire on the fence or was there timber his speed could have made him hit it after the post ??

i remember years ago was lamping a estate near to where i live and my collie greyhound knocked herself out on a tree stump going down to pick up a rabbit. when she came round as we were carrying her back to car she started wailing like a banshee this was 3 oclock in the morning and the noise was unbelievable took her straight to the vet who we had to knock up and they phoned the police because of banging on the door had some explaining to do that night but laughed about it later.

was going to say that ,sounds like he,s took a wack in the throat area to ,keep an eye on him ,my bitch took me out not so long back ran a rabbit right up beam and every time i took a few strides to the side the rabbit kept coming led the dog right into me and turned me up side down let here get her self to gether and checked her over every thing seemed ok ,next morning she was sat out side looking through the window at me with one pupil the size of a dinner plate and the other like a pin prick ,thought she,d fractured her skull but turned out to be bad concusion thank feck but it lasted about 4 days so i,d give him a thourough checking over mate just to be on the safe side .good luck
