Why arent the pics coming up? can a mod help me out please???

[Fabapocalypse 35]

I'm not a mod, but I think if you edit your post and replace the capital letters in the opening image tags with lower case letters the photos should show up okay.

 

Hope this helps!

injerys are all part of the trade im afraid. only thing i can add to the first aid kit is the hydrogen-peroxide is the 3% strength the stronger stuff burns. atb

they working now?

[lurcher lass 9]

they do bounce back mate, its so stressful when they get hurt but honestly given time and i'm sure your dog will be grand, my bitch broke her leg last season and has only just recently fully recovered, the actual injury was fine but the mental bit took a tad longer,,when she done it the leg was swinging as if on string, made me feel ill and there was a few probs with ops on the leg but all is mended now and i'm so happy!!!

my partner is sick to the back teeth of my saying 2she's back!" but she is completly back to normal and apart from scars you wouldn't even know it happened

 

its very true too that this is the first of many, my bitch ran over some rough ground and split her hocks and the back of her hind legs open, one gash to the bone, she came back after her run and i saw she was hurt but before i popped the lead on she spotted quarry and off she went..

 

another time she impelled herself on barb wire, i had to cut the fence to bring her home to take the prongs out of her fleash at home where she felt more secure, once healed she was working like nothing happened

 

be warned it tis part of owning a working dog, but give time to heal and they'll pay you back

 

she's a whippet x deerhound/greyhound 4 yrs old so plenty of time for more

 

p.s always always always insure your dog, its completly worth it, and 400 pound isn't bad compared to some vets, all the best mate hope this helps

I'm in need of a bit of quick help, he had his draiIn taken out on Friday and in the last day or so it has scabbed over and fluid has started to build up under the skin it's got a bit bigger today, I already have an appointment at the vets for 2 on Friday just wondering weather I should get another apointment for today or if he willbe okay till tomorro?

 

Cheers

Soak the scab off with boiled, then cooled water with a teaspoon of salt per litre. just keep mopping at the scab with cotton wool until it dissolves and loosens. Don't try and pull it off its dry, but it should come away once you've moistened it. Might take a little while.
