I'm so sorry the news wasn't better :(

I read something recently about acupuncture being very successful in treating radial nerve damage, so that might be worth considering. Sending lots of good thoughts for William :huggles:
 
What rotten luck :( Have you had him to a specialist ?

thinking of you both
 
I have spoken to friend of Tanya's and who has bred and trained greyhounds for years and sh has advised me to massage the shoulder and neck as often as I can each day. After a week she has told me how to check for ony back pain and if he shows any signs she will put me in touch with the muscle man she uses for her greyhounds .She has also said if he doesn't show any signs of improvement she will see if she can ge him into see her vet a greyhound specialist .It will mean a long journey for him but if it will help then I will do it.

Tonight Parksie came to visit him and when I showed her how he would react if you pinched one side of the leg but not the other he reacted every were I pinched.

He also had a bone not something he normally bothers with but he was most definitely holding the bone with his bad leg and he does put his foot down occasionally when he walks but not if he thinks you are watching

He is on rest now for up to 3 months to see how he goes We are trying not to get our hopes up but these little things are definite improvements
 
So sorry to hear the bad news :(

Get better soon William :luck:
 
poor william :huggles:

get well soon :luck:
 
Sorry to hear about William take him to a greyhound vet they are the best
