flipbull 1,139 Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 Think its well woth the time and money to get to see a bone man, some good advice from thl members. Good luck Quote Link to post
krawnden 1,036 Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 Not knocking your vet, but as said by others there's no harm in getting a 2nd opinion. If you can't get to a greyhound bone man I'd recommend a McTimoney chiropractor. I had a deerhound bitch that couldn't walk properly - she was stumbling around as if she was drunk. My vet was adamant she had luxating patella and they'd have to operate to fuse the knee joint. I didn't believe him for a minute and went to a McTimoney woman. The deerhound stumbled in and after a 20 minute session she walked out up on her toes right as rain. Closest thing to a 'miracle cure' I've ever seen. Not trying to get your hopes up unnecessarily - it may well be that nothing more can be done for yours - but if she was mine I'd definitely give it a go. 1 Quote Link to post

J Darcy 5,871 Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 Don't confuse vets and bone men....they are completely different. A good bone man might just have your bitch up and running almost straight away. Good luck. 2 Quote Link to post
