latchy 21 Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 well had a nightmare getting me pup ready for the season,, had her out on thursday and she slipped into a pile of glass cutting both her back leg tendons in half.. 1 of her back legs had a 2" piece of tendon missing so they had to strech it and stich it to the other tendon... although her running days are over i hope she makes a good enough recovery to make a family pet Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chook1 184 Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 Speak to scallywag on hear, one of her dogs cut right through the tendons in one of its front legs, After the op - i think she got a physio in to do some type of treatment - i know that helped a lot, The dog does still run and does still catch. Hope she makes a good recovery. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

skycat 6,174 Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 That is a horrible thing to happen, how well she is able to run afterwards depends on which tendons were cut. There are lots of tendons, and if it was the main ones then I wouldn't hold out too much hope. I've known dogs run really well after slicing through minor tendons, but not the main ones. Fair play to you for trying to get her patched up: I doubt I'd have done that: too sad not to see the dog run as it ought to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
