tiptopdan 1 Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 hi all. in September i was out hunting with my colli whip grey and when on a course he pulled a muscle underneath his right bk leg. he was a bit saw the next day but after that seem ok i still dident run him knowing he had an injured. a week or so later i took him on the field with me pup and he had a lil sprint and same thing agen. ever since that day he pulled it it still hasn't healed up. its been nearly 3 months now and still the same 2 day. was told 2 rub a muscle rub on it but thought it would heal up on its own given it enough time. any 1 know any good muscle vets or summit in the same line or eny 1 had the same problem ? [bANNED TEXT] did you do and how long did it take 2 heal. i am not gonna run him at all this season hoping he will be sound for September cumin up. any help would be sound. thanks dan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

captain jack sparrow 8 Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 its probably a teared muscle,put your thumb on the injury and feel for a hole,rest 6/8 weeks, could be a groin never the same Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tiptopdan 1 Posted December 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 its probably a teared muscle,put your thumb on the injury and feel for a hole,rest 6/8 weeks, could be a groin never the same its only hurts him when leg is stretched fully out. i need sum one 2 pin point it out and try and work on fixing it. worst thing ever having a dog injured and dunno how 2 fix it. hope hes just riped his muscle and not his hurt his groin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Plong 21 Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 (edited) Agree with above at least 8 weeks but had a greyhound with same type of injury and it never was 100% after doing it, would run fine one week then next week run 60yds and pull up yelping. Only rest will fix it. Edited December 21, 2010 by Plong Quote Link to post Share on other sites

captain jack sparrow 8 Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 knee/ thats a stifle injury, hold the hip and push leg towards the dog faceing forward,and watch the knee,stifle,like a human stretches legs, if its a stifle injury the leg goes forward more, if it hurts she will bite lol put a muzzle on if its a gracillus thats just behind the knee,normally a lump, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
