How Do Greyhounds Fare With Only 3 Paws?

James,

 

I agree with everyone about a second opinion.

 

Dogs do very well on three legs. Check this out.

 

I really hope they don't put him down.

That's a gorgeous video clip, thanks for putting a smile on my face!

Thank you for more information!

 

Jeb isn't being sedated anymore for bandage changes - not back in the cast till the ulcers heal. The vet showed me the recent x-ray and the toe bones don't appear to be healing but are not out of place. However, my husband who has lots of experience with x-rays, tells me that only hard bone will show up on x-ray so the bones could very well be healing nicely.

 

I've had a suggestion about treating the ulcers - granulated sugar on the edges. That came from a nurse who has treated the elderly for pressure sores and she tells me it works well. Also - you can't beat the price! I mentioned it to the vet's assistant today who said he would pass it on but rolled his eyes at the thought. Anyone heard that one?

 

Love the videos!

 

 

Hello Margot! I wanted to add this link about using granulated sugar to heal wounds. It was discussed recently in the forum, and seems to work really well.

I'm sorry to hear about your vet though. Have you been going to this same vet for a long time? Is there another vet nearby that you could go to? Just in my opinion, but from reading your posts I felt a little like I might not have great trust in that vet, but of course it's hard to understand the whole situation with only reading the posts and not being there myself.

 

I sure hope your pup recovers quickly! Good luck!
