Apparently the tendons in the front paston are very strong, strong enough to pull the Carpus bone to peices when put under a lot of pressure, usually over stretching.

I did something like that to the equivalent bones in my foot a while back, the tendons were stronger than the bone which gave instead. I managed this merely slipping on my decking :b so mishaps aren't always connected to running activity. Hope he recovers well anyway :luck: :luck:

Freeways says thanks for all the hugs and well wishes. He got home and gobbled his food up like he was never fed Bless !
Luckily my vet is a orthopaedic specialist (as well as owning whippets herself)and explained to me how this injury happens.

Apparently the tendons in the front paston are very strong, strong enough to pull the Carpus bone to peices when put under a lot of pressure, usually over stretching. Just a freak accident.

His bone is broken into four little bits, so he's wearing a pressure bandage to pull all the bits together. And it a lovely shade of Blue just like ollies and Zephers !

:huggles: to Freeway, poor thing

Talking of gobbling food, these trips to the vets seem to have done wonders for Ollie's appetite (w00t)

Hope all goes well with the treatment :luck:

p.s. we have progressed to a deep purple bandage now :- " I had to stop the vet from putting on pink which she was dying to try out (w00t)

GET WELL SOON, UNCLE FREEWAY

LOVE HARRY XX

Poor Freeway ........ I don't think so LOL :lol: Apart from being on three legs and the blue bandage, you wouldn't think there was anything wrong with him. Happy as larry he is, still using me as a stretching board (like whippets do) eating like a horse (not that he's getting spoiled or anything :- " ) Wagging his tail and still hoping to get to Tilly whos at THAT stage in her season :wacko:

The only thing he is having trouble with is Cocking his leg, tends to fall over if he doesn't fully concentrate :b

He also goes back to the vet next Weds for a bandage change, wonder what colour Ollie and Freeway will end up with then, Tracy ! LOL
