shovel 160 Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 Something similar happened a russel bitch of mine.I found her one evening in the kennel in severe pain and couldn put weight on her back legs.Took her to a greyhound vet and he said that she had damaged a nerve in her back probally from jumping around in the kennell.he gave her a course of anti inflammetrys and told me to keep her confined in a small kennell for a few wks to limit her movements. It took about 2wks for her to improve but gradually got stronger.shes back to full health now. hope this helps.all the best. Quote Link to post

johnrthrfrd 223 Posted August 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 had the dog back to the vet and to see the chiropractor today she says she is very lucky not to have lost the use of her back legs with the injury she has done to her spine but she is a bit better today and a bit more active she says she should recover ok and it was just a very unlucky accident and after a few weeks tlc should be ok and it should not happen again. atb john.
