olly 0 Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 Mine did it four times and as iddles says they harden up after a while. They are a bit smaller now as well I gave mine a week and he was fine running again although i laid off the work for a bit longer Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bush Rummager 4,693 Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 Bind em up with some tape and vetrap and keep them working! i'll second that Wilf, take ages to heal properley. my bitches stoppers are a lot smaller and 'flusher' than they used ti be.... also my wallets a lot lighter than it used to be! and im not as flush as i used to be! Steveuk, is your dog working 100% normal without its stoppers? be interested to hear from you mate. My vet advised not to remove them as they protect the somthing or other in the dogs wrist... Interesting subject this.. my own bitch just about comming right from a knocked up stopper.. will be out this weekend with her, wrapped up to be on the safe side. Pain in the arse when you've only got one lurcher............... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
