mintstick999 485 Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Never had one taken off myself but it seems to be a common thing these days, don't think it will affect your dogs running much once healed up properly. Quote Link to post

bullcross1 10 Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Should be ok it's when the outside toe gets taken off that can cause problems Quote Link to post

BORDERSCOT 3,816 Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Should be ok it's when the outside toe gets taken off that can cause problems A top greyhound trainer once told me that if a dog was going to lose a toe on a back foot it was best if it was on the outside???

POG 17 Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 will add more pressure over the foot so more stress on the other toes you will have to c how you go with it Quote Link to post

bendrover 556 Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 will add more pressure over the foot so more stress on the other toes you will have to c how you go with it bang on mate take it easy with his comeback.the toe beside it will probably stubb ,when that heals the toe is stronger and should hold up to the increased stress Quote Link to post
