brambles 3,400 Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 Hi folks, im looking for a bit of advice on a torn muscle caused by a dog bite, had dog at the vet who informed me there was no real course of action due to the amount of swelling apart from administration of antibiotics and anti inflammatory also flushing for 2or3mins 4or5 times daily, the tear is on the outside of his front left leg just below the elbow, what I was wanting to know is what would be the healing time and how detrimental this could be to his performance, vet seemed a little evasive on giving me a direct answer, thanks for reading and any genuine input Quote Link to post
