A good night


Recommended Posts

went out last night for a walk with a friend last night and had a good start we took my bullx jack, big white diego, and my friends big white Ami,

after getting to the furthest point of the walk with a few misses and a great catch :whistling: , i lamped two sets of eyes about 400yards away at the start of a new field, so we walked down as close as we could and sliped jack he saw and shot off like a rocket , this is where the bad bit happened there is a ditch deviding the two fields and all i heard was a smack, yelp and saw him get up and start running again , came back and all was good no injuries, tough little rascal! next feild ran a big rabbit :whistling: and caught it after 3 turns , so definatley no injuries, we are now walking back home a good 35/40min walk, got half way and noticed jack acting strange walking slower than usual and breathing funny so checked him over no broken ribs so fussed him and carryed on next feild was really suffering and Ami caught a mixy which squeeked so jack ran over then collapsed, Big problem couldnt move small sharp breaths looked like it was all over! :icon_eek: i was gutted we were still about 15mins from the van but i threw him on me shoulders and started running after a bit my mate took over and then again me before we got back, threw the dogs in the back jack on me lap flew like the wind to me vet which is open 24hrs, hopeing he wouldnt stop breathing on the way we got him there alive and they rushed him in for xrays, PUNCHURED LUNG! the impact poped a small hole in the lung , he needs no excersize for a week and to be monitured all that time incase it gets worse, but lungs heal quick themselve apparantly and there will be no lasting damage, any one else had this or heard of this?

no mate the x-rays showed no brocken ribs i think it must of been like a crisp packet affect was full of air then had the impact and pushed it out to quick and poped, hes doing well now showining very little sighns of an injury so must of been very small.

hope your mates dogs is ok it was a bit of a shock specially half an hour l and a big ears later your mates dogs sounds worse than jack so fingures crossed.

Just found this thread: it happened to my Deerhound/Grey many years ago: her first trip out on the lamp: fell into a huge dyke: same scenario: OK for a bit then slowed right down, breathing very shallowly: rushed her to the vet: it was 2 in the morning. They stuck a needle into her to let the air escape that was building up in her chest cavity: they said if she hadn't had such a deep chest it would have been curtains for her well before: took over 3 pints of air out of her chest cavity. I next ran her in 8 weeks and she was fine ever after. Dead worrying at the time though. Yours is only the second example in 20 odd years I've heard of with that exact same injury: and falling into a ditch as well.

Glad your dog is OK: yes, lungs do heal well.

A mates dog was not as lucky as yours, he run a fox pre-ban and seemed to just clip the corner of a wall he caught and dispatched his fox and on the way back to the motor fell over and was dead within minutes. He showed no abnormal signs untill he collapsed. Its allways the good ones, cause they are the ones trying.

happened to me about 6 weeks ago my collie greyhound fell in a ditch dislocated her hip ,started breathing funny ,on the way to the vets aparrently stress in a dog can tear the lungs anyway vet told me that they heal themselves .he put her hip back in and now she is on the road to recovery had a check up a few days ago and now she can be let off the lead for a run vet said she is nice and strong again so should fingers crossed make a full recovery

something similar happened to my dog he was chasing through the woods then [bANNED TEXT] he started comeing back he was walking really slow and kept stopping ,so i checked him over and found a hole at the top of his shoulder so got him to the vets and they kept him in they rang me the next day and said he had punctured his lungprobably of a tree branch, any way he made a full recovery so hope ur dog gets well soon
