Tyla 3,179 Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Ive just spent the last 3 months and masses of money trying to get my bitchs toe fixed. She tore the ligament on her middle toe on her front foot and it was surgically re attached. Shes had three months rest, and i've spent alot of time bringing her back too fitnesss with road walks etc and very controlled excersize. I finally let her have a run yesterday and she was fine. Then today on a walk she hopped over a log and came back limping. Its swollen and sore and i assume shes done it again. My local vet is fine for basic stuff but i took her for the op to a specialist greyhound vet two counties away. Hes great but the distance makes it very hard to keep up regular visits. He has recommended i find a vet from the brighton track as they'd be more local. Can anyone recommend one? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
