runforyourlife 361 Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 Just had the dew claws removed on my 2yr old... Plus a full check up by the well respected greyhound vet paul Evans.. In the check up, he found old injuries, which he knew nothing about...And also found his glands to be swollen in his neck. Said it concerned him a little as this could be due to infection or illness, or something more sinister..So he took a blood test, and i'll get results on monday... I could just tell that he wasnt running the same and he wasnt himself... Also the dew claw kept flaring up and at one time it couldnt be touched without the dog winching in pain, so hopefully the glands will have been flared up due to this reason, as they could have been infected, anyway job done, so i feel much happier now..

albert64 1,882 Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 i dont understand why people leave them on, they should be took off as soon as there born iv'e seen that many dogs laid up because of dew claws, me personally would'nt entertain buying a pup with them because any lurcherman that knows anything about working dogs will take them off. hope your dogs alright ....albert Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Daveo 61 Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 Iv had both, dogs with and dogs without, and one dog that had one!!! The only time they have ever caused any trouble is when i ran my dog on really rough ground, and he knocked one up and it made him lame, but he recovered I don't think they are as big an issue as people make out unless a dog has really damaged one, as it sounds like runforyourlife's has, then they need shifting. lurchers can injure there tails, does that mean they should be docked??

Malt 379 Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 Hope he makes a speedy recovery, I had to have mine done in the middle of last season.. They were fine until he chased a rabbit through a hedge & onto a tarmac car park. He split one right along the length of it, so I had them both off.
