Can you explain a bit better what exactly the vet said to you: was it just a normal vet or a greyhound vet? And what did the vet advise? I've never heard of a 'jarvis' so maybe you misheard him? Are you sure they didn't say: pelvis?

To be honest, pet dog vets are OK for cuts and jabs, but for a running dog injury the only place to go is to a specialist Greyhound vet.

Quick tip: if a dog is limping really badly the day after injuring itself I would say, as a general rule of thumb, that it has either damaged a joint or muscle quite severely and is almost guaranteed to need a month off running, combined with massage and other appropriate treatment.

More dogs are ruined by running them too soon after an injury than just about anything else: get the dog to a greyhound vet! And follow their advice to the letter!
