there is more to it than a knocked up toe if its had time off it may be that its just the first joint that needs to come off you would be back working in 4 weeks it wont make any diffrence to dog good luck

we had a similar problem with a mates lurcher, broke its toe when it was a youngster and kept having problems every so often , just as you thought it had overcome the injury it would make the dog sore limp for a few days , we had a few different opinions from vets etc, ended up removeing the toe and from then on fine , dog now runs fine no problems at all , we were wary about the outcome but it made a full recovery, one word of advice , shop around for different opinions and prices, price was if i remember one hundered and seventy, and it took the dog all summer to come good,

Exactly what has been diagnosed as being wrong with the toe by the greyhound vet.

I use Richard Thor near the east midlands airport 01 509 50 70 .

I would advice you if possible to visit him.

The main issue is to correctly diagnose the problem is it bone or is it ligament damage and i can assure you he will do this.

He is very realistic on price not like your pet dog vets.
