bendrover 556 Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 i cant believe im writing this. i took my youngest bitch out for a quick shine about 3 this morning and after seeing nothing else i slipped her on a rabbit on the way back to the van. what should of been a standard run has turned into my worst nightmare. she ran the rabbit well but went over a dip in the field and then all i heard was the most ear piercing scream ever so i ran over to find her fitting in a ditch full of muck and water. i didnt move her just held her head untill the fitting stopped, which seemed like an age and she came to again. i gently lifted her out the ditch and on to the field and she just lay there unable to move. i tried lifting her and she just collapsed. i knew this was time to get her to help urgently so i carried her to the road and carried her the half a mile or so back to the van. i put her in the van and she just slumped down, tried to stand up but couldnt and just gave up there and then, not moving till i got her home. i rang round the 24 hr vets but two never answered the phone and another was busy till 8 so i stayed up with her in the garage untill my vets opened and got her in there straight away. the vet was brilliant, never bothered about me and her being head to toe in muck from out the ditch just concentrated 100% on the bitch and after a full examination he has said its likely she has done spinal damage BUT could also just be severe bruising along her back. we got her walking in the surgery but she kept walking sideways and her legs kept crossing over as she walked. she is still up there now for observation and more tests i just pray to god she will be ok as if this is the end of her career it will be such a shame as she was coming on brilliant. ill keep you posted im due some good luck so im hoping it comes in now, she is in good hands all i can do now is wait and hope for the best dont give up hope mate,my dog broke its leg badly at 11 months,after a lot of metal work and rest (6 months)he came back and done his job very well.2 years later he hit a brand new fence full throttle.he was paralised for 2 1|2 weeks.his spine was badly bruised from head to tail.he came back and done his job well again.BUT as he had stopped breathing for about a minute,every now and again he threw a little wobble on the turn and was starting to get aggressive.but i am convinced this was down to the lack of oxygen to the brain,but phisically he came back and was still the most game dog for running large rabbits i have ever seen.atb,and a speedy recovery,benny Quote Link to post

Guest stewie Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 thanks so much to all of you that replyed it means alot :notworthy: im pleased to say that the vet has given me plenty of positives and there is not one broken bone in her body!!! she is just very sore and really battered and bruised along her spine. he said dogs that have been hit by cars get of lighter so that shows how fast she must of hit the ditch. she walked shakily out of the surgery and went to the toilet by her self which is a good start but i had to lift her in the truck she is feeling really sorry for herself the vet said she has got to rest for at least a month and then slowly build her fitness up after that but as far as he is concerned she will run as good as new given time. she is dragging her back leg still and cant stand up straight as you can see in these pics im in no rush to get her back in action, no point in making it worse for her in the future so if she misses the rest of this season then so be it. so for now shes confined to the sick bay but id rather a sick dog than a dead one so im keeping positive, thanks all again ill keep you posted on her recovery Quote Link to post
SHanded. . 110 Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Plenty of food an warmth, she will be back out there before you no it pal.. All the best SHANDED. . Quote Link to post
