  11. Portamag box, are they worth the money?

    in Working Dog Health & Training Talk

    Posted

    Ok, this is a long story. My bitsa bitch is just over three and has had a terrible time with injuries. She damaged the tendons in her left fore shoulder at about a year and has been struggling since. Shes had all the usual cuts and tears that they get from work but her left fore has been an ongoing problem.

     

    In december last year she knocked up a toe on the same leg and has been layed up since. She had an operation to reattach the tendon in the toe which, touch wood, seems to have been successful. She had the 3 months rest as requested by the vet and i brought her fitness up very slowly with lots of road work.

     

    She has been getting gentle off lead excersize since then and has had a few runs on rabbits bushing. She now seems to be limping on it again, albeit very slightly and intermittantly. It dosent seem to be the toe as nothing is swollen and the vet says it would have blown right up if the repair had failed, so im wondering whether its the shoulder again??

     

    There dont seem to be any greyhound vets around this area, the guy who fixed her toe is a couple hours away and as the limp is intermittant i cant see how he can help?

     

    Ive heard great things about the portamag box but it all seems very vague when you read their site. Does anyone have any experience with them? Might one fix my problem?

     

    Im at my wits end, i have the other lurcher out of action, possibley permanently, with stitches in his eyeball and the problem with this bitch. They are both cracking dogs when fit but i can see myself ending up with two retired dogs and no space for more. I know everyone will say get rid and start again but they are part of my family and my wife and i have put hours and days into them and have no intention of getting rid. I will do whatever it takes to get her right but dont know what to do or who to ask.

     

    Hence the original question, will a portamag box help? Or anything else that anyone can think of?

     

    Thanks

    They are very good ,worth every penny . They help relax the dogs after been worked wether they are big or little dogs .Help to take away the bruising in the muscles etc , you can see the difference in the dogs after they have been in the box .A mate of mine who ran greyhounds for over 20 years with a lot of succsess has always said anybody with a working dog should have one .

    There was some talk the at the hounds about the new Bellman and Flint rechargable collars having to be replaced after fifty charges,if its true it seems like a bit of a rip off.

    I think they are garunteed for 300 charges . I know a terrierman who trialed one & it was in use 6 to 7 days a week only had to charge it 5 times the whole season .

    Chilli you must get out of you're car mate to give these trousers a real test :tongue2:. I was out on the quad today and i had my Falkland jacket on the same make as the trousers and I can truthfully say it was SHIT !!!!!. I got fu*kin soaked good and proper and i was shivering like a six week old pup, i will be on the phone tomorrow asking for a change of jacket or my money back.

    Busterdog I too have had problems with a jacket , got intouch with them & exchanged it still not too happy with the jacket . Bad design for pockets which let the water in :censored: ,but have not had any problems with the trouers :notworthy: oh & by the way youre at that age where the slightest bit of dampness & you want to go home :whistling:
