Good luck Swamper I hope it's not as bad as it sounds.

Don't know how good your vet is,but it would be worth taking the dog to a specialist

greyhound vet,they deal with similair injuries on a regular basis.

[swamper 11]

cheers people...like i say im going to have a word with the specialist tommorow

and see if hes the real deal

[swamper 11]

just had a phone call off the vets and it looks like we are looking at a series of fractures just above the foot and it is also gratteing so this could mean that it is dislocated aswell.....but it looks like the joint is still intact...so i surpose thats some good news....got to wait till thursday for the swelling to go down before xray again and decide what course to take

Fingers crossed mate .

[swamper 11]

cheers chaps well know better tomorrow when she had the second Xray

so fingers x

thanks for the kind words

[swamper 11]

its bad news im afraid

shes home at the moment as i picked her up last night

but its like this...the only thing holding her foot on is the skin

the bottom of the hock is compleatly severed all tendens have snaped

the hock its self is very unstable and fractured also the top of it is dislocated......so its a very serious injury

so here goes....shes going in on moday (as its the only day hes avalable) to be operated on by a specialist

he needs to peform 3 ops in 1

 

1st he needs to fuse the joints together

 

2nd he neads to put in a rod down the bone so that it becomes stable

 

3rd going to reatach her tendans with wires

 

so as you can guess her runnings day are over...the only thing i can do now is keep her comfy till monday and then take it from there...but its not good....gutted

 

 

 

can i just add...to all the people that have pm'd me with help and surport ...thankyou

[Guest Frank]

So sorry to hear that Swamper. I hope she gets over this some how, the poor lass.

 

Prehaps its time to look for a strong pup in the future, just to keep your mind of it?

 

The best of luck mate, keep us posted.

 

Frank.

[Guest Lurcherbitch]
