Feab 0 Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 Sometimes they just get cramp, best thing is to give a bit of a massage from shoulder or hip (depending on which leg of course) down right to the toes as soon as they go lame if possible rather than have them run on it while cramped. Was told this years back by greyhound people and its been useful with lurchers over the years. Hope the pup gets sorted soon whatever the problem is. Quote Link to post
