My New Dog


Recommended Posts

My latest addition, Herne the hunter, I didn't get him till he was near a year old, my sister found him in a horrid state, hid him in her student digs till he yodelled the place down, then called me to go visit her and presented me this dog.

 

He was left behind by travellers who had been in the area, he seems to have a weak right foot and cries suddenly if he catches it, but he's doing really well now and had definatly been a worker before, so I have high hopes for this lad.

 

Plus he's amazingly well camouflaged, at dawn and dusk it's really hard to spot him even a few feet away

May be worth having that paw checked out

Yeah agreed. At first I thought it was just the 'lurcher scream of death' as he runs about with the others well enough, but he keeps raising it and crying when he's at rest, thinking there might be an underlying fracture maybe - going get him booked into vet monday

 

thanks

You will be best seeing a running dog specialist mate. A good one will tell you the problem from a look and feel.

 

Run of the mill vets just see pound signs. They will want keep him in, do scans and X-rays, you name it - £££££

Yeh of course. But I know a few running dog vets that diagnose fairly basic stuff for £10-£15 whereas a vet won't even try to diagnose. Straight on X-ray machine.

I know of a lad took his bitch to a very well known boneman becuase of a alight limp the man clicked the bitches wrist and said 8 weeks kennel rest. The limp was still there so he took it to a different but not ao well known feller and just by the bitch walking towards him he diagnosed the problem. Fractured wrist. No doubt qggravated by the first man f***ing about with it. The sun doesnt shine out of all there arses i assure you.

 

Very nice got a striking look about him. Atb.
