Ruptured Achilles' Tendon ........

[socks 32,253]

Just as my work load triples and I get the bitch to peak fitness Tilly goes and ruptures her Achilles' tendon today.

 

It's very swollen so she has had an intramuscular jab of metacam and will be on metacam for the next week to try and get the swelling down.

 

On the plus side the tendon is still attached so there is some hope for a recovery which at best will take six months of total rest. I won't really know the full damage until next week when the swelling has gone down but if it's never going to heal properly then I will have a difficult descision to make.

 

She is a very hard fit bitch that has healed well from some bad knocks and injuries in the past so fingers crossed she can come back from this. It's a shame that her daughter is nowhere near ready to step up as she is way behind at this age compared to her mother.

 

Fecking dogs ..............

Sorry to hear! Bloody dogs ay sometimes there worse than a mrs... nearly!

Iv just spent two months of intense jogging getting my 3/8 5/8 dig fit he's 8 years old so takes a lot longer to get fit than your average 3 year old then last week he's knocked something swelling has gone down but he is using that leg a lot better now, just another set back
