with the right treatment and given time i dont see why not plenty of time on the lead will be coming the young dogs way it wont be very happy about that my cousins lurcher done this about 10 yrs ago and it was pinned properly by a top vet the dog went on to lead a very active and fruitful 12 yrs after the dog was pts at 16 yrs she was only allowed so much walking on the lead for so many months i think it was 20 mins a day for so long then build it up gradually the dog was walked mainly on hard ground to build the leg up all in all i think she was on the lead for about 10 mths there are others on here who have had dogs to go on and recover from this they will tell you also it can be done just patience and more patience the best of luck with the young dog mate.

the legs been pinned and had an external fixing brace fitted , apparantley op went well as it was a clean break and not shattered , just ive had mixed reactions from some folk , like get it put down , never be the same , wont run , not be good enough to course , a lot of negative feed back, im not looking for false hope just seeing if anyone has had similar experience

Wilfs bitch had a nasty break as an adult....and has since gone from strength to strength. Im sure he would happily offer advice.

Good luck

One of the main things in your favour is the dogs age, and if the repair has been done properly, there is a fair chance it will be ok for work.

In my day dogs didnt get the chance, even pups, but its different now, and a good vet can do wonders..

I hope it all comes good for you matie and I would love to see you posting on here in a years time showing the dog with some kills

the puppys been treated same way as if it were a footballer/sportsman , as its had an external brace fitted , my friend had similar brace fitted when he broke his leg and hes a pro footballer and still playing.

but hopefully i will be posting positive progress on his future working life, as i did have high hope for him because of his breeding so fingers crossed

A pup of 4 month old will bounce back from that don't worry, they are'nt properly developed at this age. As Doxhope said year's ago maybe it would'nt of got the chance, but medicine and knowledge has come on alot. I would say Tyson be patient and give it time and i hope it come's good for you. P.S. i think the Rug mans place is cursed for dogs.

definatley cursed! have a look next time your there , you wont believe the size of fence he got over for his age its a good 4 1/2 5 ft high and its bent over at the top to prevent dogs from climbing/jumping out

Tyson, It's amazing how these dogs recover...I had one with tendons & nerves sticking out at one point...and runs topps now. Remeber to take it easy, gentle recovery and good GRUB (ie BARF)...All the best with your dog he/she will come right &...i bet she will make a complete recovery, just be carefull & don't rush her.....As for some c**ts....they log-on just to wind-up & belittle someone to make themselves feel better :sick:

 

Cheers

my uncle's doberman got hit by a car a about 4 to five months ago it sufferd a clean brake to the back leg that had to be pinned & put in a pot for a while

i actually watched it running around just the other day on his back garden and to say the dog is huge in size and a very heavy dog it runs perfect with no bother at all.. i was a little worried for the dog but it seems as if there was never a brake there in the first place. so your dog should be fine mate

[tyson 1]

one downfall vet bill over £600

so any money donastions are welcome please make cheques to mr ivor beenhad
