broke toe


Recommended Posts


My bitch broke a toe at the start of the year the mag box was invaluable in speeding up the recovery time, its set well and shes had a couple of runs since and all seems well so far. Get yourself to a good running dog or greyhound vet for a second opinion and see what they say about it.

get the vet to cut the nail right back to release the pressure in the toe and tape or bandage the toe in the correct position so the brake heals right.rest and lead walking until next season , the more rest the better.

i done this with my bitch last year and shes just run this season without any problems with the toe. :thumbs:

get some bone radial aswell.
