chopperthewonderdog 4 Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 I was just wondering if anyone can help......my Lurcher has torn apart his ligaments, the extent of the damage is unknown as of yet (bloody vets!!!). I would like to see a proper Greyhound vet but don't know of any in Cornwall. Does anyone know of any please?? Quote Link to post

southcott 9 Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 My bitch broke her toe last year , and we where told about a new practise in Bodmin , that deals with the rescue grey hounds and there injuries, will try and look out the number for you , fortunately my bitch mended and did not need surgery , so can not guarantee them 100 % , but may be worth ringing for a chat. 1 Quote Link to post

chopperthewonderdog 4 Posted October 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 Hi, thank you for all your help. We have to take him back to the vets tomorrow so he can be sedated again and then they should give us a proper diagnosis. I will then ring a couple of the numbers that you all have given me to get a second opinion. Swindon is 100 % worth the travel because our dog lives to catch rabbits so we have to do everything we can to make sure he makes a full recovery. Sandra Osborne sounds like a good option too and is a lot closer. Thanks again you have been very helpful, Tish Quote Link to post
chopperthewonderdog 4 Posted October 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 is there any tracks in cornwall if so contact them for the track vet Unfortunately the nearest greyhound track to us is 3-4 hrs away, not much happens down here for dogs anymore. Thankfully there are plenty of rabbits though Quote Link to post
123456 146 Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 There's a good vet in horrabridge (between plymouth and tavi) the vet nurse keeps a few good dogs herself Quote Link to post
