dawnraider 2 Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 whilst out lamping sunday night i get a call from the old woman,my new pup 9 weeks old has tried to get over his gate and broken his leg got straight home and back out to the vet.the phone call the next day bought some relief,a minor fracture to his front right leg just below his elbow joint,the vet says it is a very clean and straight fracture which will heal very nicely and did not need pins or a plate just a shoulder to toe cast for 6 weeks and he could not see any probs in the future with him working.get home today and his foot is swolen so back to the vet,the cast is too tight and has to be done again,poor little fecker just wants to lay on my lap all night.so far costing 350 quid but worth every penny.will get some pics of him up later.
