rolysmate 49 Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Pretty certain that with time that will heal, may need some stitching to hold it together but the body"s natural healing processes will repair the damage. It will need rest to allow it to repair but the muscle fibers will repair themselves and it may leave some scaring to the tissue and of course your dog will generally lose condition as you will NOT be able to exercise him but once repair has taken place you can soon bring him back. But with proper care and rest and then rehabilitation he should be fine but don"t expect it to happen over night and dont rush it. Quote Link to post

Keeps 403 Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Hope your dogs ok. One of my bitches had a similar injury a couple of years back when she got caught on a cut down willow tree stump, had to carry her back. She had a huge tear on her underside which the vet stitched up and recovered well after a few weeks rest. Fingers x for your dog Quote Link to post
