Saluki71 110 Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 Soak it in genson violet you can get it from the chemist and when it's healed up you can toughen the pads up by road work, when the pup is old enough. 1 Quote Link to post
desertbred 5,490 Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 I f your dogs injured its stopper a few times the scar tissue will make it a vunerable spot. Hardening it will dry it out and make it more vunerable. You can buy purpose made stopper protectors that protect the stopper They usually have velcro fastenings, or get a 3 or 4 inch piece of cycle tyre inner tube put that on when working just be careful it isnt to tight and restricts the blood flow 1 Quote Link to post
green dragon 701 Posted August 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 (edited) Nice one guys ill give them ago. Do you think the protectors woll affect the way he runs? Edited August 9, 2016 by green dragon Quote Link to post
jeemes 4,453 Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 Out with some hounds one day when one had his stopper ripped. Huntsman said its always doing it,and as luck would have it a vet was out with us,he come over and cut it off with a penknife. He said that was best way to deal with them because it always tears again in same place. 4 Quote Link to post
flipbull 1,139 Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 Lad I know, had a dog and was resting him for 6 weeks, take it out ,would split again.This kept happening mate.Got it removed and was spot on.So I would agree with jeemes, if your dogs keeps doing it, get it removed asap as you may only be putting off the inevitable. Would rather do it now than in mid season. Hope you get it sorted 2 Quote Link to post

green dragon 701 Posted August 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Anyone know how much it would cost roughly Quote Link to post
BGD 6,436 Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Anyone know how much it would cost roughly Not much at all I'd imagine pal, would only really be paying for the anesthetic. About £100 I'd expect. Quote Link to post
jeemes 4,453 Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Anyone know how much it would cost roughly Ask them for a quote first. Tell them your on a budget and you need to know exactly how much. Quote Link to post

flipbull 1,139 Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Anyone know how much it would cost roughly Think the lad who I know had to take up around Oldham ways. I have just lost all my numbers out of phone mate or I would have give him a bell and asked him how much it cost. Sure it was around £100-£150 and if I remember right, think the bigger the dog the bigger the cost. His was a big dog around 40kg+. Quote Link to post
mighty celt 996 Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 They are a nightmare i wouldnt let that dog have any running what so ever for 2 months till you think its healed 100% then give it another 2 weeks to make sure.if it happend 1 of my dogs again i would have removed straight away. 1 Quote Link to post

slip lead 862 Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 If you are running hard ground it will keep happening, rest him up until the ground has some give in it,at this time of year you might as well run him on tarmac roads, because you will do just as much damage running on the fields. 1 Quote Link to post
