Injured Wrist

[C Hall 552]

My dog went lame on his wrist just over a week ago! I had him to see the bone man last Saturday. He said its a bad injury he did say exactly what it was, some sort of muscle tendon damage and if it was detached from the bone he would not run again without the same happening again he couldn't tell me if it was detached last week because of the swelling. Took him back this morning and it is not detached it will take 6 weeks to heal but so what at least he will run again. To say I am happy is an understatement

Yes the bone man showed me where and when to apply for best results

Well that is good news. The bitch I had who detached her tendon completely did go on to run again after a 4-5 month lay off, but she was never quite the same again, not that it worried her unduly but she couldn't turn the same as she once did. Hopefully yours will be fine. Zheng Gu Shui is amazing for tendon damage: get it on Amazon. Don't over do the application: one day on, one day off for a week, then lay off for a week, then same again. I use it for my tennis elbow and it is good stuff, though a vet did tell me that it shouldn't be used day in day out on a permanent basis. Like anything, too much can have side effects: he said it had caused skin changes in a dog's toe that he saw, but without concrete evidence to back up that statement I'm inclined to take it with a pinch of salt. I've been using it twice a week on myself for over 4 years and have never had a problem.

Skycat I am going to stick to the bone radial as advised from the bone man he has always been bang on with advise he has given me

That zheng is the stuff mate better than bone radial. My bitch did the same thing. Lead walked her for 12 weeks. Gentle trotting after that and literally took my time with her.

Bone Radiol is basically a gentler way of blistering, which is what they used to do with hot irons on horses with tendon problems. Nonetheless, BR is pretty harsh stuff, and overuse can definitely cause skin problems: I've seen dogs where the hair has fallen out completely, as well as the skin being very sore to the touch. I guess it is OK if used with caution, but use it sparingly.

 

IMO, Zheng Gu Shui works just as well but without any problems. I haven't conducted any 'scientific' experiments with either product, so I can only say what works for me and mine.

My bitch has the same problem, it's been 6 weeks, she's been on metacam and is on walk ex till OCT, I have to watch her as she can't keep still but gentle ex and a big fingers crossed

[neilsherlock 226]

Sky cat would u suggest light support bandages whilst working, if so, would u use Vet wrap with cotton wool underneath ? It's something I've been considering as it's the second leg she's done

if you can mate get the dog xrayed, i got told the same by my vet,, just ligament damage and rest for 8 weeks,

she wasnt right after 9 weeks so i went back,,,it was actually a chipped bone too ,,which has not healed right and now she has bad arthritis if she had only been xrayed at the time things would of been allot diffrent.
