lamping last nite bitch broke her leg


Recommended Posts

Do you guys not have the PDSA over there?

never heard of it pal.

 

 

Peoples dispensary for sick animals, they have it in Northern Ireland, you may be eligable for reduced veterinary treatment, not a dig at the situation, horrible thing to happen, seen it myself :thumbs:

dont no 2 be honest.

the bitch was loved i no that for sure.but she was a working dog and she would have never worked again.

sad as it is, nature has a very funny way of sorting things out, my own pup , ok only 12 weeks, broke his front leg, both bones , but he's now a strong beautiful animal , that has amazed me, maybe it was the right decicion maybe not , but one you , me and most hunting folk would do in those situations, go get yourself another one asap-------atb den

You done the right thing by the bitch lads, theyre welfare comes before our emotions, as hard as the choice is to make, it's all a part of the responsibillity you take on when you have a dog. hard call, but you done the right thing. atb

i work in the horse industry mate and so often you see people keeping animals alive that shouldnt be just to make themselves feel good. sometimes its hard but if the animal is going to suffer mentally or physicaly then its defo the right choice it can be hart renching but its the right choice sorry to hear about it mate
