Taz-n-Lily 62 Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 I would say get her to a vets. If that was a human we'd be removing the rod - x-ray to make sure nothing was left inside or had flaked off, deep irrigation, and antibiotics. Clean-out under anaesthesia if anything was left indside, possibly slow-release antibiotic beads if there is bone infection, dressings and rest until things had started to heal. I wouldn't be advising salt water for that one. 1 Quote Link to post

LaraCroft 863 Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 If it is a 3 year old injury, you are likely to know already what is happening to the dog - with soundness etc. Quote Link to post

stripes 401 Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 I see you posted it was an old injury mooney, and what was the outcome?, not too many lurchers with that kind of injury ,, every dog is different in its recovery from an injury like that, it would be hard to comment.
