poacher2225 2 Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 you be better leaveing it of for 2 or 3 week's i find runing a dog that's lame make's it worse Quote Link to post Share on other sites
undisputed 1,664 Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Deff best to leave it till it heals....its there for a reason its like shock absorbers and brakes rolled into one when your dogs slowing down have it off and the only thing between your dog and a more serious injury is skin. Just be patient and let it heal properly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maty j 6 Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 let it heal fully theres plenty of time before the season starts. running the dog on hard ground will only cut them up more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
danny boi 0 Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 i had this problem with my beddy whippet last season. i think masking tape may be a bit fragile i saw somone on here using self adheisive(sp) bandages like what the vet puts ontop of a normal bandage so im gonna be trying that this season atb dan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maty j 6 Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Those are the co-adhesive ones Danny like Vetwrap. There not bad but you still need to put some padding on the stopper and take up the bandage. But as i said in my first post, If you keep running you're dogs on concrete ground it's going to keep happening but may be worse next time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
