STAN22 3 Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 (edited) Just got back from the vets. I took my bull cross out earlier, and whilst he was running through some xmas tree's i heard a big snap which i thought was a branch and max yelp. He was chasing a rabbitt i think so he must of hit whatever he hit pritty hard. He's broken his thema (not sure how to spell it) the main bone above the knee. Its going to be expensive i know but he's an excellent dog so he's worth it. Can people please tell me what are his chances of being 100% again? Many thanks Stan Edited July 5, 2008 by STAN22 Quote Link to post
STAN22 3 Posted February 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Thanks mate that makes me feel better. He'll have plenty of rest as long as it takes! Quote Link to post
STAN22 3 Posted February 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Thanks mate. He's a 2 year old so fully developed. Its a clean break so like you say should be staight forward enough. Anyone any idea's on how much it will cost? Quote Link to post
STAN22 3 Posted February 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 It doesnt really matter though he's worth it. He has really excelled this season i would say he's not reprasable now. Quote Link to post
STAN22 3 Posted February 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Thanks alot for these replies because i really feared that he wouldnt be the same again. But you've all put faith back in me now. He certainly wont be seeing anything untill next season now. Thanks again guys i really appriciate it. Quote Link to post
STAN22 3 Posted February 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Your absolutly right swampy thats a good way of looking at it. Like i say his excellent, this was his first proper season and he's caught whatever i wanted him to. Steady with ferrets. Marks fox to ground. Jumps even the highest of gates. Any situation put in front of him he tries his hardest. I carnt ask for more than that can i? It always happens to the best dongs. Quote Link to post

Guest WILF Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Do you have insurance?............I hope so! Look for a bone specialist............DONT let the common or garden vet feck about with it! When it happened to my dog it was £2800...........but 3 months later she was running as well as ever. Good luck.........and keep us posted!! Quote Link to post

allgame 0 Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 the ones iv seen it happened to never run the same agian its a confidence thing i think but remember if its that good keep it to breed of or as a ferreter finder type dog you can always find a use for a slow dog if it's got heart Quote Link to post
STAN22 3 Posted February 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Just got back from the vets they aint even fixed him yet. They wouldnt touch him untill i pay for it because i wasnt registered with them. Disgusting! So my dog has been in pain with a broken leg for about 25 hours now and there not treating him untill tommorro morning so that'll be 36 hours. Need i tell you what i think of the vets in this country? Quote Link to post
