All the best to Zephyr for a speedy recovery :huggles: Just seen his picture on other thread sporting his blue bandage :wub:
Hope he is feeling better soon :thumbsup:

Tracy's Ollie

Poor Ollie, Zephr & Mabel. 
Sounds as though you all had a bit an unlucky Sunday.
From the results, looks as though Ollie did really well though.
Take care Tracey, thinking of you
Freya sends lots of licks & tail wags to her friends. She spent Sunday at a Dance class in Otterbourne.
Hope to see you all soon
Issy, Frey & Chloe

I don't think she even noticed Beth- I only noticed it when she rolled over on her back to show everybody her wares! :blink: :- "Zephyr said:alfie said:Mabel always seems able to pick up a minor bruise or cut or graze every time she goes out- this time she somehow got burns from the line (I assume) on the back of her thigh and right between her legs either side of her 'bits'!
Liz and the Monellis
Poor old Mabelline - hope she feels less sore today - sounds painful! Aloe vera would be good for that!
:huggles: :huggles: from Beth and Zeph :huggles: :huggles:
She must have a high pain threshold- I think she'd need to come back missing a leg to even bat an eyelid! :wacko:
I hope Zephyr is being brave- hope he's ok for Whippet club! :luck:
Liz and the Monellis
Hi Issy and Liz
Thanks for your good wishes, Zephyr has his bandage off, has 3 (white) stitches, isn't limping and is feeling FAB, thank you very much! :thumbsup:
Lovely to hear that Freya is still doing heelwork to music - hope to catch up with you soon! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
(Sorry to hijack Ollie's thread, how is he today? :luck: :luck: :luck: )

Hi Everyone,
Thanks so much for all of your well wishes, and I really appreciate all the PM's that have been sent to me and to Jasbri. I have sneaked round to my mum's to hijack her computer as I couldn't wait any longer. Ollie is in very good hands though, don't worry.
Well, his first time lure coursing proper and what an amazing three runs. I was so proud of him, and he thoroughly enjoyed himself. His trial was superb, many thanks to Digger's Dad Larry for slipping him for me :b and after his first run (and everyone else's) he had the highest score on the field (beginner's luck I know, but you have to be proud :wub: :wub: ) Everyone ran so much better the second half, and Ollie had a great course, but clonked his toe on the pulley at the finish as you know
We rushed off calling the vets on the way, only to remember that my vet is only available until 13.00 on Sundays so went to the one covering, who were very shocked to find a blubbering wreck on their doorstep as I am sure that I was much more in control on the phone 8) Anyway, she was pretty sure that it was dislocated but loathe to knock him out because of the shock so we went home after painrelief, analgaesics and a very sporty red bandage. Amazing how they suddenly become aware that they are in pain once you support something and cover it with a bandage isn't it :- " We had a very calm night thanks to the metacam kicking in, but come 05.00 things started to get sore again
He was admitted at 8 in the morning for xrays and I was a complete mess again :b but they were fantastic and phoned me straight away to tell me the anaesthetic had gone okay, so that was a huge relief. Then the bombshell came, as up until that point we were all hopeful that no surgery was required....
Boy, did he clonk it :wacko: Having seen the before and after xrays "snapped it in two" isn't quite a strong enough description....There was a good half a cm between the two parts of bone Still after the most agonising three hours (Bridget I can never repay you for getting me through that) he was fine, just a bit of metalwork heavier. Having been in the trade I can totally understand what an incredibly fiddly operation this would have been, but I was really pleased with the xrays and think they have done an excellent job. The rest is up to Ollie and I, ensuring that he doesn't do any damage while it's healing.
I have asked for copies of the xrays, and hopefully these will be ready for me to collect when we go for a bandage change on Friday, so I wil post for those that are interested. It really is a good repair so I'm very hopeful that my gorgeous little boy will be okay after what is going to be a long haul, however I am hoping that eventual Hydrotherapy and constant supervision with crating will pull us through :thumbsup:
Talk about tempt fate though, those there will know what I mean, and I am NEVER opening my mouth again :b
Thanks again to everyone, especially Bridget it means a lot :thumbsup:
Best wishes and cuddles to all those feeling sore, Ollie can sympathise :huggles:
Tracy, a very sore little Ollie, and poor Jake who just wants his Bruv to be playing again...........

Oh poor Ollie
Thats unbelievable, sounds like a really bad break, poor lad. Well it sounds like they did a wonderful job and I am sure in such a young fit (and handsome) boy he will heal and be right as rain in no time at all :luck:
Stan loved running with his new partner - such bad luck this happened, but just glad you are both okay. I too would have been a bit of a wreck, I am such a wuss when it comes to the dogs
Anyway big hugs to the very fast and agile Mr Ollie :huggles:

Oh poor Ollie, and poor Freeway! :unsure:
I have never seen so many injuries in a day lure coursing, can't think that it was anything other than bad luck.
The field was in nice condition, unlike at Radway, where I personally wouldn't run my dogs again, due to the stony ground and pits, and poor Alfie putting his hip out there
Hope the wounded are back on their feet again soon. :luck:

Oh MY Tracy. It sounds like you've got a fantastic vet though, so he's in the best care. Fingers crossed you can keep him quiet enough to let it heal thoroughly and properly.

Just a very quick update (on mum's pc again :b )
Ollie has been for a dressing change this afternoon, and the vet and I are really pleased. The wound is very clean and neat and she was very impressed by the lack of swelling. She couldn't believe how well it looked, so I'm over the moon. He was commended on his obvious "sticking to the rules" as she had expected the toe to be rather swollen.
She was a bit embarrased that she had forgotten the copies of the xrays, but promised them for Wednesday when he is next back there (w00t)
I know it's early stages, but for those that know his lordship, they will understand what a devil of a job it is to keep him still :- "
Thanks again for all the well wishes for my gorgeous boy and we hope Freeway is okay :huggles:

Adam Chamberlain you are sooooo cheeky (w00t) Please excuse my son eveyone, he has been threatening to do this for as long as I can remember.
Anyway, here's a pic to show you how Ollie's getting along, vet was very pleased with progress when we went for bandage change today so that's good.
Jake seems to have come out in sympathy with his lordship as he has somehow managed to fashion one of the afore mentioned son's sock into a bandage (w00t)

Glad you recognise him Jo, he's put on 2.1 kilos since the op (w00t) (w00t) and looks lovely for it :wub:
At last food has moved up on his list of priorities, probably because it is now the highlights of his day
