Injury On My Lurcher

[Stuey8989 2]

Hi all just want some advice on my lurcher he has had and injury on his leg and just had the stitches taken out today, how long should I rest him for befor I can start getting his fitness up again. Also he has fluid on one of his toe joint the vets say it should go away but it's been there 4 weeks now and he has been on antibiotics for 3 weeks and still no improvement in it, have eney of yous come across this many thanks Stuey

If he's still got a problem with his toe, then starting to get him fit again would be pointless, as it could just aggravate the toe,

i would either go back to the vets or find another vet, it could be there's something else going on with the toe, like a floating bone chip

if it was infection you would have seen improvement well before now, did the vets not give you anything to take the swelling down

like metacam?
