OldPhil 5,362 Posted January 4, 2023 Report Share Posted January 4, 2023 (edited) Yeah,..I remember visiting a man, who I regarded as being, one of the best 'running dog Vets'... My bitch had a collatoral ligament injury, to a front outside toe , and it seemed to be a recuring problem... Now, this guy was used to dealing with such annoying , debilitating,.. maladies and he told me straight,...."The bitch needs six weeks rest Phil",...I nodded in agreement.. The man smiled at me and repeated his advice,..."I mean six weeks proper rest ,..NOT a lurcherman's rest".... I got the message,...I did as he said,...rested the gal up good and proper,..and the toe came good.... Time is often a great healer... Edited January 9, 2023 by OldPhil 11 Quote Link to post

Vet told me 3 weeks but think I’ll give him 6 just to be on safe side 5 Quote Link to post
