Had my male lurcher out for a quick spin yesterday morning.

Best part of 3 months since he broke a toe, has had very light duties and

plenty of rest.

Had him up the vets today for an X Ray - Front left little toe smashed in 3 places

When you say spin do you mean you where running him ? .....the ground is like bell metal here so if its the same where you are then I aint surprised

[makattack 133]

taught it to be a bit dangerous running on this hard ground we got at the moment if he gets the right treatment he should make a full recovery from the injury

[scroat 62]

lie him up .be alright sept dont listen to much what vet say.

No mate he's white

 

Ground is fine here, just the terrain is "difficult"

 

Cheers, D.

Won't be too much of a hindrance D,if it had been the inside one then it could of been problematic..I'd just let it be now,it'll callous over in the next few months,if it becomes a ball ache get it removed,outer toes don't hinder them at all..he's a hardy wee dog anyway I'd be amazed if he even showed it to be bothering him lol...good luck and fingers crossed lol..

Had a pup that had almost identical breaks in its toe. OK, he was only 4 months old at the time, but the toe healed fine and never caused him a moment's problem. Hard part was keeping a pup quiet for 3 months! Hope your's is better able to cope with the enforced rest.

ALRIGHT MATE.

LEAVE IT ON.

LIE THE DOG UP.

LIGHT WALKING ONLY/LEASHED FOR ATLEAST 2MTHS.

TAKE IT FROM THERE.

HAVE YOU ANY ACCESS TO A MAG BOX.

IF SO 3HRS A DAY NUMBER 4 OR AFTER ANY EXCERCISE FOR 2HRS.

get it off just cause bother in the future plenty time to get over it in the summer months

THAT WAS MY FIRST THOUGHT.

LOOKED AT XRAY AGAIN ,

ITS NO THAT BAD.

ITLL CALIS RIGHT OVER AND MAYBE NO BE AS FLEXIBLE BUT THE DOG WILL BE ABLE TO GRIP WITH IT.

IF IT WENT AGAIN ,IT,B OFF.

Feck me, some serious advice here and seemingly based on experience. Personally I'd err on the side of caution. You can always take it off but you can't change your mind and put it back on.
