Hello  everyone 

my lurcher dislocated his toe in january on a run 

and it happened again 2 weeks ago  and again last night in our garden.

its his outside  front left toe at the joint closest to his nail

can anyone recomend a greyhound vet for me as im planning on getting it stitched  ?

or any other recommendations ?

cheers Dan

Stitched ?

Just get the end joint removed, i had it done with one of my old dogs and if you get it done correctly by a good vet they will stitch the pad back up so it’s still makes contact with the ground when running, unless you look closely it just looks like they’ve got no nail on that toe.

Take it to vet buddy might just need a splint or as shadow said get it removed

I read you can get the tendon stitched which is what I think causes the dislocation 

Looking for a greyhound vet ?

Cheers all
