I took Chloe and Busta out for a walk at Coombe Hill today and poor Busta slashed his pad open whilst running after his tennis ball. I'm not sure what he did it on but there was an awful lot of blood and it had me panicing for a few seconds until my brain kicked in and I applied pressure then cobbled together a dressing out of some kitchen roll in my pocket and created a makeshift bandage out of some poo bags knotted round the whole thing! It was like Blue Peter out there today No marks for finesse but it did the trick whilst I phoned the vet. The vet said he couldn't stitch pads so if I could clean it up myself and bandage it I could save myself the £100 call out charge for him to meet me at the vet hospital. I wasn't very confident about that as at first glance I'd assumed it definately needed the vet but I decided to whizz home clean it up and then make a decision. In the end I couldn't decide quite what products to use or how to tackle it so I called my greyhound trainer up and he talked me through exactly where the injury was and how big/deep then told me step by step what to do and what to use. He was brilliant! Busta is all bandaged up now with a dog bootie on over the top and luckily he's not trying to rip the bandage off yet. Phew...that was far too much excitement for a saturday afternoon. Chloe was brilliant throughout and waited patiently while we sorted Busta out. On a positive note today she was running around with Busta much more confidently pre-accident and having a whale of a time playing.

Yes that is Chloe chasing Busta and the ball...she's so fast! Please excuse the poor quality clip it was done on the mobile!

Get well soon Busta hope it heals quickly.

Its amazing what you can do with a nappy bag when you have to

If Chloe can go that fast ass he is how fast is she going to be when fit and well

Poor Busta, I hope his pad heals quickly.

I can't believe how much Busta looks like Merlin, I just showed the pic of Busta to my husband and he thought it was Merlin until he noticed the dressing was on the wrong leg. What line in Busta from?

Hi Jill,

I'm afraid I don't really fully understand all the bloodline stuff but his mum was from Collooney lines and his dad has a mixture of names in his pedigree including some Pencloe and Dumbriton prefixes. Does that mean anything to you?

Lol. The poo bags worked really well! I was quite surprised but they did the job just fine to get us home.

I will give Busta a big hug from you. He's feeling very sorry for himself....not sure if it's pain in his foot or the humiliation of having to wear a paw bootie thingy that looks like a boxing glove!

Hi Vicky - Merlin has got Pencloe Dutch Gold in his pedigree - Merlins dad was Fullerton Dream Mover. Busta's white stripe (on his face) is wider than Merlins but I really had to do a double take when I saw that pic of him especially with a poorly foot. By the way i'm impressed with your home made dressing, i'm paying about £25 a throw every 3 days for the vets to change Merlins.....

Poor Busta....................get well soon :huggles: :huggles:
