OMG that's horrendous! Hope she not in too much pain. They tear like tissue don't they?

Speedy recovery!
 
Its sods law.We always say that,they go all winter,no injuries,as soon as the shows starts,its one thing after another.

I hope she gets better soon,its a nasty injury.

About a year ago one of my pups done similar sort of damage on the inside of his leg on some bloody wire left by the council in some reeds walking down the river. I found with mine the cut looked alot bigger and worse because of the delicate skin around the inside leg area - He had 26 stiches altogether.

Luckily he didn't have any muscle damage.

I hope that your cut heals well and muscle damage is minimal.

Best of luck Billi Jo with a speedy recover.

Cheers Russ, she needs a bit of practice at the racing, we never started to race her till a couple of year ago, she is still only 4. but never had that many racers, there is not much racing here, i have her sister she is a bit faster but i can not race her she flips dogs with her feet on the way past, jeff
 
Really hope it heals really quick, looks nasty, the only thing i hate about whips is there skins like paper.! :(

OOoohh that looks sore. My Scrumpy had a barbed wire cut a month ago which needed 12 staples (skin only, luckily no muscle damage) but it was healed in just 2 weeks & now you can hardly see where it was. I used aloe vera gel to help it heal, the dogs love the taste of it tho so you have to make sure they dont lick it all off again. I'd put it on then give her a chewy to keep her occupied for 10 minutes while the gel soaked in.

Hope your dog makes a very quick recovery, she is beautiful by the way :)
 
I WOULD LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE FOR THERE NICE WORDS AND ADVICE ABOUT BILLIE JO, HOPE SHE GETS WELL SOON AND RACING AGAIN, JEFF
 
Ouch ! hope it heals quick Jeff. My Storm done similar a few years ago at a show in Belfast, he jumped outve the back of a Calibra i drove..the keys were still in the boot release and he tore his dew claw clean off. Its the daftest times when the worst injuries happen. There was somebody on here a few weeks back whos dog broke its metatarsals playing on the beach !

good luck mate..hope to see you at Selby anyway !
