Tyla 3,179 Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 My bitch is due to finally be off lead walks after a stopper pad injury that just wouldnt heal. it happened at christmas and was opened up and restitched twice. After the last time i have kept her lead walks for the past 7 weeks. The injury seems healed and she is raring to go next week when the 8 weeks is up. She has had a lot of excersize on and off the road but hasnt been off the lead for 8 weeks. What i want to avoid is her going crazy as soon as she gets off the lead, i will walk her seperate from the others, away from quarry and keep the stopper bandaged whenever she is out. is there anything else i can do or not do? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Doglost Co-Ordinator 4 Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Buy one of the injury boots that are all over the place now. It helped my dog to stop ripping his open again after he cut it on glass. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks I'd say you have answered your own post pretty well with sensible advice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tyla 3,179 Posted April 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Thanks, fingers crossed she will get fit with no more mishaps - it would be nice to get some work out of her Quote Link to post Share on other sites
