I had a very fast coursing dog ,who dislocated his left front leg at a dyke,he recovered to work rabbits and foxes but never coursed again ,the leg never regained its former flexibility and he couldnt turn as well,its a long haul but I was glad I did it ,he gave me years of honest work and companionship.All the best with your bitch.Inan.

had a cur dilocate a hind leg at the elbow...................trip to the vets................strapped up for a month.............stretched the tendons and tore ligaments on the way out.........

 

 

After about 3 months the dog was back out and about, but anything too strenous, and she'd pull that leg up.........even when walking.

 

 

she was never the same, and never ran properly again

 

I hope your bitches injury is not too serious

The dog may recover fully or with a weakness only time will tell.You can only try mate.

mine disolacated one of his toes he was laid up for quite a while he has been out a few times and seemed ok but the vet said he will suffer from arthritis later in life

i think he enjoyed his rest

im 4 month into recovery with mine and her leg is full of wires and a rod and shes only just stared to walk again

but hers was more than a brake...it was pointing in every direction

just take your time mate thats the only advice i can give you....nice and easy.....if the dog decides its easyer on 3 legs give me a shout....theres some tricks to let it gain confidence in that leg again

all the best mate
