nottzhunter08 898 Posted June 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 i think its his bone in between the hock joint and the hock or metatarus. i saw the hairline fracture and the vet said there are alot of ligaments around this area and none of his ligaments appear damaged. he only rests the tip of his toes on the floor and through my eyes it doesnt look very stable. like i said i am returning to the vets on thursday and hopefully get the answers i need. cheers skycat Quote Link to post Share on other sites
my hounds 313 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 I'd be very worried if my vet said he needed another vets opinion, time to find another vet mate. There is a good greyhound vet in loughborough he has treated a couple of mates dogs and they have been very happy with him. I don't have his number as i always use Paul Evans at Manchester but i can get you his number is you would like it please pm me. Yep Paul Evans Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jf1970 328 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 the same happened to my bitch when she was a pup, a fractured metatarsal, she was laid up for 8 weeks and road walked for 4 weeks before she was let of the lead, you say that you have to go back to the vet on thursday, has he done anything with the dogs leg or given it medication?

nottzhunter08 898 Posted June 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 yes mate back on thursday, all the vets have done is give him pain killers and took an x-ray. how did your bitch recover pal? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mally 832 Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 If it was my dog i'd have been to the greyhound vet by now, not having a pop just saying it how it is. There's been a few threads about injured dogs on here over the past few days, some havn't even been taken ot a vets. If they thought anything about there dogs they would go to the vets first before putting it up here just like Nottzhunter08 did. I treat alot of injuries to my dogs myself but i don't hesitate to get to the vets if it's something i'm not sure about or if it's serious, i owe them that much with the graft they do for me. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mattyg 1,862 Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 ive got a dog here that DISLOCATED his hock, strapped up and and a splint and just shit and piss walks for 6 weeks, then lead walks for another 6 weeks minimum and a whole lot of patience....its amazing how unfit they get after missing a whole season (but thats down to me aswell.lol). and the black guy from lichfield is don, alot of the lads from the midlands will know him well from his days at dunton vets (mrs jones') i use another guy who used to work at dunton, andre pretorius, he is the vet at hall green i think (or perry barr). hope your dog comes good. matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
