[SIZE=8pt]she is still limping if it is a muscle problem how long will it take to heal ? [/SIZE]

 

It seems to be her sholder more than her leg or paw

Did the vet check her shoulder Kim?, it will probably need a bit of time to settle down if your not happy though I'd nip back to the vet :thumbsup:

I haven't read your original post with the outcome of when you went to the vet but if you haven't already i'd go and see a good greyhound vet

Is there any in Bristol or close by?

 

I did visit the vet on sat and she seems to think it is a muscle strain and to bring her back on Mon if she hadnt got any better and she said she would do xrays under anastetic (sp)

Why do you need to have anestetic(sp) won't the vet just let you hold her still,

I've never had this before advice please knowing people Is anesthic necessary?

I wouldn't think knocking her out would be necessary (I can't spell anaesthetic) - it could be dangerous, maybe a light sedative if she was really wriggly?

I can't even spell it wrongly the same way twice :b :lol:

Personally I wouldn't be happy with them using an anaesthetic on a puppy as young as this unless absolutely neccessary!

 

[imperative]

hope she alright

My vet does the greyhounds at the Oxford track, his name is Mr Bartholomew, he is excellent sorted a really bad problem with Tess and very gentle with dogs (though a little less gentle with owners). I really couldn't recommend him more highly.

His phone number is - 01865 242600. You could just give him a call and see what he says.

If you did come to him, you could come and see Esme (and the gang), we could take them for a walk together.

Perhaps it is the money issue? like they can charge for a anaesthetic :rant:

I will give those numbers a ring and see what they say.. :thumbsup:

Thank you for all your pm's makes me feel much better :huggles:

I will keep you updated

I would not rush in to having x-rays and anaesthetics but give it a chance to heal, these things do not get better overnight!! If she has strained a shoulder muscle I would think you will be looking at at least a week for it to heal and longer if you do not rest her.
