inugrey Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 My slightly over 2 year old hound is a wonderful healthy spry girl. She never was able to grade into a track and race professionally. Her back toes don't seem to spread out as much as normal greyhound feet. To my untrained eye it's like her webbing isn't long enough so the toes never fully extend. That is the preface to: In the past month or maybe a bit more I have seen her drop her back leg as she's walking. It happens very randomly and will only happen once (that I see) and then it won't happen again for days or weeks. It looks like a hip drop and she drags her toenail. Because I've had old hounds I immediately made sure she corrects her feet, which she does. Any thoughts on a young dog with this issue?

turbotaina Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Turbo used to occasionally drag a foot, but I never saw a cause for it. Have you done flexion and extension?

turbotaina Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Probably just a simple misstep. I know I am constantly tripping over nothing myself Quote Meredith with Heyokha (HUS Me Teddy) and Crow (Mike Milbury).

inugrey Posted September 15, 2015 Author Share Posted September 15, 2015 I think you're right. I just need someone to say that. I've had old dogs for so long that a misstep looks like LS immediatley.

turbotaina Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I'm sure she's fine. Anyway, she's pocket sized, so you can always carry her around Quote Meredith with Heyokha (HUS Me Teddy) and Crow (Mike Milbury).
