They look like they've f****d that job up.

Take her to any vet for a second opinion ,then get them to out it right or pay for it to be out right

you say they have fooked it up, you should of seen it before they pinned them at least the dog can walk now. have you ever seen a dog with 2 middle toes dislocated, one is the norm and that are normally the out side one.

If the foot stays like that, keep an eye on the two central knuckles, and he might be on the edges of his pads and they can sometimes split, if they start baby oil can help and vasoline between the knuckles will help stop friction blisters.

 

Hope you can get the foot sorted.

spoke with greyhound vet via email he says that might be as good as it gets but to leave it another month to settle down.
