never bothered with ointments or anything like that unless there needed.

check for injurys , treat any wounds , give them some good grub and a warm bed.

give mine a good rub down all over before and after a nights work,a good warm up before i think just to loosen up especially in the colder months,and warmish water when we finish with a tiny pinch of sugar.

its a bit kinder on the stomach ,cramps etc,go for a good run and try neckin a pint of cold water the old man used to make an ointment will find out what the ingredients were i know one of them was cider vinegar used to stink us out lolhe also used to give a small piece of chocolate after some hard graft he had a couple of dogs that had strokes which he put down to low energy,hard graft and the cold.

my uncle races greyhounds and always gives his dogs a rubdown with radium B,takes all the soreness out the dogs and relaxes tight muscles

When we used to attend Waterloo cup in good old days after a course the dogs were rubbed down with a strong smelling rub.excuse the spelling but it was called curraco.

[samba 534]

theres lots of different embrocation on the market for rubbing down

if your dogs a bit stiff aftera nights lamping he deservesa good rub down

i put mine in the magneta pulse box for 1/2 and this take all the sorness

out of is body

yes it is worth the effort after a nights hunting , checking for injury's as well as cuts , i allways rub mine down with curaco, before a nights lamping and when i return then putting them in the porta mag for 45 mins each, it's only fair on your dog , i also make sure they have electrolytes, before and after a hard nights graft , got to remember these are athletes , so we must to the best of our ability look after them

alco ectolin or any alcohol based rub find it good after a hard days coursing but rarely use it only if i see them stiff about the place does no harm anyway
