Thanks skycat , the vet injected her with anti inflamitary an hour or so after it happened and prescribed a tablet daily ( carprieve ) , the bitch is just at 26 days after the start of her season so the softening is possible . The run itself was an unexpected one but she is fit and is out 2 nights a week minimum working ,alongside daily walks . She doesn't seem to be in any major discomfort but the visual signs are obvious . Is there any type of steroid I could request from the vet to aid repair ? And is this type of injury a permanent hidrence ? Is it a weakness that is likely to reoccur ?
Input appreciated cheers

Had a bitch return from an out of sight run with an injury to her rear left leg ,
Initially it didn't appear to be to bad but after the walk back to the van it had doubled in size .
Went to vets straight away and had anti inflamitary injection , but am wondering if it's an impact that's caused it or a rupture of some sort . The bruising seems to be from the rear of the leg which would make an impact unlikely from that angle but I didn't see what happened , pics show day after bruising .
Has anyone had anything similar , or any advice to offer ?

i have a bitch that suffers intermittently with this after and during exercise , shes around two , kept fit all year and fed on a fish based diet . shes allergic to some form of wheat/grain/cereal that manifests a week or so after eating anything of that nature with localized skin pustules and soreness , im not sure if this has any bearing on the situation (dietary deficiency) . does anyone have any experience with this ? and or suggestions for a solution ?
she will whine on return from a run typically only when she dosent catch and lower herself to a lying position , if i try to get her up immediately she will hold up a leg and whine . after a few minutes of rubbing and stretching from me she will just return to normal .
thanks in advance for any help
this might sound odd but bear with me. you say it's typically when she doesnt catch, is there no correlation then with how much or what type of exercise she has done? what happens if you dont rub and stretch her? lifting a leg up doesnt sound typical of a cramp symptom to me? what happens if you simply walk out of the room and leave her when she starts lying down?
the point i'm getting at is whether this is actually a psycological issue, and without even realising it you are rewarding the behaviour by rubbing and stroking the dog? perhaps there is something you do differently when she hasnt caught which is acting as some kind of cue for her? remember that dogs pick up on tiny little things which we may not even notice we are doing?
points considered many thanks for your input

Without reading all the replys, give her half a tin of Asda Chopped Tomatoes (34p a tin) every day in her diet.
Cheers, D.

thanks for your efforts s , shes not a stressy dog but the info has been digested .
i was feeding her on csj dry feed until she reached a year old , then the skin problems started . after alot of experimentation and antibiotics i got the skin under control and improved after 50% hair loss and red raw itchiness . i changed her diet to an exclusion feed (advice from vet ) and its almost all renewed . i try to keep her away from any other dietary influences that im not sure of the ingredients , but recently i fed one of my terriers some leftover pasta and she threw it up , the lurcher then ate the tasty bits! after around a week the skin flared up with the aforementioned symptoms . and after a week or so of normal diet it has settled again . so i just presumed the cereal based feeds were the cause of my problems .

if bought and calculated over a 10yr period (rough dog lifespan) it works out at just over 25p a day but it just depends how well it works and how tough the collars are .
initial cost £250
yearly cost after first year £ x 9
total £920
so £92 a year
or £0.25a day
thats if ive understood there pricing and not missed any "extras"
