Or 1 hr spent massaging and treating dog.R.Meek handy a personally think and knowledgeable and greyhound s and lurchers.A like the scanning machine s as never have off day, but use R Meek.Steve Duncan very very good too as is J Wright but he only does his own dogs or a select few me been 1 of those he uses scanner. It’s personal preference though who you get results off. Quote Link to post

Theres a horse Chiropractor near me never been to university for it yet all the vets would recommend him .. don't have to go to uni for 7 yrs to know your stuff . But if it's an unknown injury I'd rather get a running dog vet to check the dog over first before a k9 chiropractor starts pulling them about Quote Link to post

Had dogs to George Drake in past and also used Tom he has scanning machine a realy rate them.Think a lot of lads with injury s think dog needs rest but 90% of injury s you need to treat and run or keep the dog galloping. 1 Quote Link to post

Have you ever had monkey muscle injuries with your dogs before where they get a swelling about the size of a ping pong ball just behind the front shoulder muscle, do you know best treatment for them ?

Am no expert at all but this is how a would treat it , firstly get swelling down and brusing out ice pack hose etc witch hazel or arnica gel once swelling and brusing away a would ultrasound but if no ultrasound a would use trainers choice rubbing and stretching you need to keep stretching the muscle to fix it a would free run the dog to by it’s self.

Got the swelling down now but can still feel a pea sized hard lump on the muscle, I’ve kept him on the lead for 2 weeks, some people say don’t let off the lead for 4 to 6 weeks, think I won’t let him off the lead for 4 weeks or would you let them do free running before then Quote Link to post

A don’t use mag box not because don’t think there useful just lack space think there perfect for soreness and after hard day or night don’t rate them for treating injuries.Ultrasound is what a use.
