Hi mate looks like metacarple but hard to tell without exray if it is then you will have to confine him for 3 month i know of a vet not far from you that wont ask daft questions about the scars but wont put no up here send message

Thanks mate he seems to be putting more weight on it tonight i have put it in cold then hot water and fed him up and gunna make him take it easy for a few days there is no rush as september is a long way away yet. Can i have the details of that vet for the future please mate ??

there is no rush as september is a long way away yet...................yet you have had him out trying to get him fit for a whole 2 days and had him out on the lamp

It takes more than two days walking to get a dog fit, especially a heavily built dog. I wouldn't let it run at all for at least a month unless you have a sandy beach or wet field to let it have a canter about. Ground's rock hard here and I don't let any of mine gallop now unless we're near the river where the ground is softer.

 

Most probably either strained tendons or ligaments or bruised the bones. Either way, ice pack to reduce inflammation, or hose for 5 minutes at a time twice a day. Keep on lead for at least a week after all the swelling and pain has gone. If the swelling doesn't go down in a couple of days then vet for xray in case its cracked a bone in the foot.

 

 

THANKS FOR THE REPLY MATE GOT AN ICE PACK WOULD YOU JUST SIT AND PUT IT ON THE FOOT A COUPLE OF TIMES ADAY ?

 

Treat it like a fracture then you are covering the possibility.Once the swelling is down treat with bone radial ,three days on three days off .Keep on lead until spongines has completely gone from bone in question.If in doubt get a greyhound vet or someone who squares them up with a good reputation

metacam willhelp aswell ease the pain and reduce the swelling ....stand in a bucket of icey water two or three times a day...... Edited April 18, 2011 by snoopdog
