you have lost me there i have been to the local greyhound stadium and also work at a vets. i am however new to running dogs after many years with terriers so without sounding funny could you explain why long dogs need a special vet? the vets at work dont understand why long dogs would need a certain vet either. the chap who breed my lurcher checks her over and puts all parts back in alinement when we see him but one of the vets at the surgery is happy to do this too and recognises the breeders expertise in this area and complements him on his work not all vets are money grabbing t*****s!

please do explain as i work all my dogs and feel i may be doing a dis-service to them with my choice of vet

You're not doing them a disservice. Any vet competant with small animals will do fine.

 

Greyhound tracks need to have a vet in attendance - these will be normal, usually small animal vets, usually from a local practice.

They will have a greater experience of musculoskeletal injuries from what are highly athletic animals, pushed up to their limit.

There's no witchcraft involved, just experience.

 

Use whatever vet you're happy with

you misread what i was trying to say,which is running dog,ie-lurchers,greyhounds etc have?receive different injuries through coursing than say a terrier or gun dog.a greyhound vet is more specialised in the this field rather than say the local pet vet.the 2 vets i use are far from money grabbing.they both support hunting etc,know what i do with my terriers and have fixed up some nasty injuries for me.

No offence ,but you could not be more wrong.

If you have a problem with a running dog that is ANYTHING out of the humdrum ,ie jabs minor ailments,ALLWAYS go to a running dog vet,like a Greyhound trainer,most Vets are general Practitioners ,who see a wide spectrum of animals ,for eg cutting the budgies beak, neutering the cat,etc.They haveNO specialist knowledge of running dogs. For Unknown injuries ,be they muscular,tendon problems,bone queries, etc ALLways go to a Greyhound man.If you went to your GP and he told you, you had ,GOD FORBID , a Brain tumour ,who would you want operating ? Him .Or a Specialist who dealt with tumours on a daily basis?

I'll give you an example years ago a guy I know coursed a dog on some rather hard stubble , the very fast bitch knocked a toe on the hard ground ,thinking he was being clever ,he got a friend to take her to the local PDSA, the injury was not severe , he just wanted the dogs toe taped up ,when he collected her the toe had been amputated.

My Vet is a greyhound VET ,he does not treat anything but running dogs . I give the other vets a very wide berth, for all but the very basic of problems. A woman vet at a local practice assured me that rabbits do not harbour tape worm, after I asked for some Drontal Plus ,telling her that my dogs are fulltime workers at pest control.

more than one vet at work supports hunting and follows hounds with local hunt, one is also vet in attendance at most if not all local point to point meets.

all vets at work would refer to a more experienced vet or discuss any case they were not sure about.

after reading your replies, speaking to other experienced with working dogs and also the vets at work, i have come to the conclusion that the vets at work (one or two in particular) will do nicely and it is up to me as the owner of the animals to say no if they want to do things i would rather they would not.
