R.A.W 1,987 Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 To any young hunters out there....... IF your dog breaks a leg while out lamping go straight to the vets or take matters into our own hands. DO NOT leave a dog to suffer over night for the sake of £100. Thats just gives us all a bad name !!!!!!!!!!! 15 Quote Link to post

birddog 1,354 Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 immobilisation would be a must, it would reduce the risk of further damage either to the bone / bones or any associated ligaments, tendons, blood vessels, a simple splint could / may suffice but ensure a good distal ( beyond the injury) pulse / blood supply must be present and monitored as swelling may occlude blood vessels, do not try any reduction (putting the bone / bones back in the right place) unless you REALLY know what your doing as it may do more harm than good, if obvious internal bleeding / severe swelling elevate the limb if possible, tourniquets are old hat and should be released intermittently if used to help ensure perfusion / blood supply, if the bleed wasn't too serious hopefully it would clot and stop or at least lessen to a manageable level, but above all for all that your dog does for you get to a vet asap 1 Quote Link to post
