fieldsportsman 107 Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 what do you find is a common injurie for a running dog, and what do you feel comfortable about in terms of managing an injury your self rather then the vets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sirius 1,391 Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) The most common are foot injuries, cut pads, split nails and then punctures wounds and skin tears. What I am comfortable to treat myself depends on the injury and everyone's different, its gotta be done on a case by case basis based on the person and the injury. Yeah a grazed stoppers not usually a problem to treat but even with those there are extreme cases when they are torn off or even exposed tendons, etc. Edited February 20, 2013 by Sirius Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paulus 26 Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 if it involves muscles and tendons that require repair then thats my limit reached Quote Link to post Share on other sites
R.A.W 1,987 Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 if i think i can fix it without causing pain or lasting damage then i'll ask some good friends for advice and do best by my dogs. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Carraghs Gem 1,675 Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Cuts, grazes, damaged nails and skin tears i will usually deal with myself. Anything serious i bring to my vet... He knows that its an emergency now when i call him... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
