photos needed

[skycat 6,174]

I know that some people have already sent me pics of their dogs' injuries, but finally my project is coming together, and I need -good, clear close up pics of injuries: specifically to feet: split webs, cut pads, stoppers etc. And any other interesting injuries dogs might have had: need pics of fresh injury, during the healing process and once its healed.

 

Also, could the people who have alread sent me pics please resend them as I had a problem with my computer and lost a lot of them!

 

Your photos if used will be credited to you and a complimentary copy of the finished product will be yours if you might want one: I assume nothing, being a typically paranoid individual LOL LOL

 

Please email pics to me in original format if possible: venturetaylor@ntlworld.com

 

Many thanks

Skycat- what reason do you need these photos?

 

If it were an unknown member asking it would be looked upon under suspicious circumstances. What happens with the photos when you are finished and what particular injuries are you chasing?

 

I may have missed the first posting of this but had to ask, seems to be quite a few views

I wanted to things under wraps a bit longer, but these are for a book on lurcher and sighthound maintenance which will cover just about everything to do with running dogs: feeding, conditioning, injuries, (specific chapters on foot injuries and problems, knocked up and flat toes, stopper problems, skin wounds:when to allow to heal naturally and when to treat surgically (sutures),how to recognise and treat and when to go to the vet, housing, parasites

 

I know there's a huge amount of info on the net, but the same questions are continually asked over and over again on lots of forums and it struck me that a really detailed reference book on the subject might be of use to people, especially those starting out in running dogs: hence the reason for lots of really good photos of injuries, healing etc.

 

I've kept dogs all my life and am still learning: this book has taken me years to get started on as I didn't feel I knew enough before, now thanks to my dogs, good vets, good friends, I feel (sort of, and on a good day LOL) confident enough to tackle it. Sometimes I feel as though I've bitten off more than I can chew but I really think that it will be useful to those starting out, and maybe to those who might need a fresh way to look at things.

 

I've also sent you a pm.

I hope that no one minds if I bump this every now and again: still need lots of photos, and many thanks to those who have already contacted me: I've got until the end of June to get the pics together so keep them coming.

All the best with this Skycat - I always look out for your posts to glean a bit more knowledge so a book sounds excellent. Put me on your waiting list please! Just healed over the latest foot injury but if only I'd known... ! Good luck.

SKYCAT WHAT A CRACKING IDEA,GOOD LUCK WITH THE PROJECT

[skycat 6,174]

Thanks very much for your support folks: it would have been a damn sight easier to have written a nice story about a lurcher's life or something like that, but I'm so far along now there's no turning back,so back to the keyboard for a few more months graft.

Penny, I've no foot injuries but I do have photos of the barbed wire cock up. Only taken from the vet's initial surgery and then progressively thru the healing process. If they're of any use let me know and you can have 'em

How's the progress on the photo front coming?
