Dislocated Knuckles And Joints

[desertbred 5,490]

I have known him to treat a running dog 40 stitches and a toe off and only charged the lad £ quid, the lad was only on low wage. Paul is always fair with working dogs doesnt poke his nose and does a good job in very reasonable price he makes his money of cats and budgies LOL

i still think he's cheaper than cat and dog vets, though mate

i called on him out of hours, he spent 3 hours with my dog, surgically removing and stitching the toe, whilst retaining the all important "pad" then antibiotics and pain killers and anti inflamatorys were prescribed plus spare dressings, then another 1 hour visit and a change of dressing laser treatment painkillers antibiotics and anti inflammatory s then another 1 hour visit and a change of dressing laser treatment painkillers antibiotics and anti inflammatory s all for only £200 which i think was cheap for 5 hours of a good canine/greyhound veterinary specialists time

cups of tea for me and a bit of banter each time plus he lets you get involved and help out a bit which i thought was better for the dog


i think my local vet would have charged me 4 or 5 hundred

.

Ye your right, compared to some of the robbing c**ts he's still cheap but when I first went to him he charged peanuts. To be honest I'd pay double what he charges, he knows his stuff and will always try his best to get the best possible outcome from a working dogs point of view.

I've noticed he always seems to ask what work I've got on before he tells me what the bill is? Maybe I should hit him with a sob story next time

Fully sympathise with you Poacherspocket..

 

Dusty, my ferreting partner,.has also injured her toe...its an outside one,.. on the front....

 

I took her to see a top Greyhound Vet and he diagnosed Collateral Ligament Damage...

I've rested her for three months,.plus blistered the toe on a 'three on,.three off ' daily basis...

 

There was an improvement,.but last weeks rabbiting,.. has fecked it up again...

 

The Ligament has torn off a piece of bone from the toe, next to the damaged one,...with time,..this can heal,.but,.. if the Ligament itself is busted,...it can never heal,.no matter how long we leave it...so,...its crunch time really.....

 

I've known pals with race whippets get toes removed from their sprinters,.but given that these explosive canines are mostly run on the straight,..or at best,.round an oval track,.what is the success rate for twisting, turning,.rabbiting/mouching style lurchers ?

 

Would be most grateful to hear the experiences of my fellow hunting men, regarding this matter.....

 

Many thanks,.and a Happy New Year to you all ,...kind regards, Phil.

 

this sounds right the tendons hold the joint in place sometimes they are ok the blister works you can use bone radiol put it on with tooth brush it irritates the skin which increases blood flow so heals quicker but if its been rested and gone again then take to vet more than likely only want the first joint off but go to greyhound vet they pull the pad up to cover bone you will be back running in 5 weeks good luck
