Guest joe ox Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Yer just tape them up if your gona have her out on hard ground. Any tape what is used to keep bandages in place will do some are better than others durapore is quite good. Quote Link to post
skycat 6,174 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Once a stopper has been almost torn off, allowed to heal, then the dog is run again, it will nearly always be prone to ripping that same stopper: the strain on the tissue beneath the stopper is enormous when a lurcher runs. I've known several people have problem stoppers permanently removed at the vets: only thing is you will need to pad and bandage the site forever after when the dog runs: but of course the problem is magnified 100% if the dog runs on this hard ground.
