beast 1,884 Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 a mate had a springer a few years back and after a car accident it ended up having the head of the femur cut off (the "ball" which sits in the hip socket) and even despite thie it ended up back at work, just a bit of a limp after a long day. i have no doubt with the correct rest and slow gradual return to fitness your dog will be fine. just dont rush it. good luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
