MissRhianL 70 Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 Just browsing through the internet there are lots of veterinary practices but you dont see many Greyhound or Running dog injury specialist about. Do you think that there is much demand for them around the Uk? Also i know you would take your dog to a vet for further examination but from a running injury would you seek advice and treatment from a Greyhound / Running dog Injury Specialist (that is local to you of course) that sees this sort of injury every day or go and seek advice and treatment at your local vet?

barryt128 4 Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 local vets are good for nothing when it comes to running injurys in my opinion although we are lucky to have a vet in fife who is very good with them in fife for injurys ill go to a muscle man or a bone man 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BEARINATOR 2,825 Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Nearly all tracks have them, the vet missed a injury on my young greyhound bitch but the bone man spotted it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paulus 26 Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 plenty around the country just ask any greyhound trainer, they will point you in the right direction, most normal vets have not a clue as to running dog injuries as they vary rarely have to deal with them, not there fault really. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Temugin 2 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 The two best are George Drake and Ron Mills ...........George is a master wit his eye and hands .. Ron is a master with his ultra sound machine ......George isn't easy to get hold of now though . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mally 832 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 I use a local vet for jabs etc, but for injuries i use Paul Evans in Oldham, it's an 160 mile round trip but i've only ever had to make one journey as he's found and treated the injuries on the first visit. Saves both time and money in the long run. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
