skycat 6,174 Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 It all depends on what type of break, and what toe and what bone is affected. If you take an outside or inside toe off a front foot it can affect turning ability, plus, if it is an outside toe, that affects the whole leg when the dog turns, which can compromise the wrist and shoulder as well. Fast dogs which turn tight and run hard are worse affected than cruising dogs. I've seen several Saluki types running with missing toes on the fens, and by the nature of the running style it didn't affect them too much, maybe knocking a tiny bit off their speed.

sowhat 1,572 Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 my dad had his arm off and he said he could still feel pain in it even though it wasnt there so this might apply to dogs aswell but not sure its a neuro receptor thing, the brain cannot process losing a limb so you suffer phantom pains Not in my case, I had a full little finger off,and no phantom pains here.
