CraignTod 278 Posted April 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 Ok had some good news from the vet today, He thinks and i say thinks because she hasnt had an xray. He says she has a fracture of the sheath which surrounds the bone, its far enough from the joint to not cause any arthritis in the future, and will heal completely with anti inflamatries!! Only time tell but fingers crossed! Quote Link to post

Yeah meek got it without looking at her, lead walks and even lead in the house she full of beans now shes not running!!! The first time she comes off the lead from her injury she gonna go mental! I bet she wont stop running! Quote Link to post
skycat 6,174 Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Did the vet give you a time scale for lead walks only? Tendons and tendon sheaths are very slow to heal as they have a poor blood supply. You are looking at 3 months at least. Quote Link to post
Fieldsporthunter 1,864 Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Glad your dog is on the mend. Meek is good, basically told me my dog was finished, to give him 3 month to heal and he would not run the same again. He was bang on. 1 Quote Link to post
mattyg 1,862 Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Tensolvet is good for increasing blood flow as that's what I was given when my old dog had a similar problem but it still takes ages and plenty of patience. Matt 1 Quote Link to post

Well he said keep her on a lead for 10 days then he wants to check her progress... Its summer luckily so it will be months till i consider taking her out hunting but lead walks for some time i fear.

CraignTod 278 Posted May 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Bitch been on the lead for almost 2 months and ive started to let her off the lead! Good news is she seems fully healed and its not gonna effect her worked ability. Bad news is she HELLA RUSTY!! I let her off n it was like watching bambi run for the first time she wasnt that bad but damn could tell she's not as nimble! Steady increase and she'll be back to it ?? Quote Link to post
mattyg 1,862 Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Plenty of slow/moderate bike trotting should build things up before the twisting and turning will get things tuned up in my experience! Hope all comes good ! Matt 1 Quote Link to post
