Ros Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Has anyone ever seen an enlarged bone on a greyhounds back leg before, above the outer toe. Can only describe it as a bunion looking thing. I’ll attach a pic Have called the vet but they don’t seem to worried about it. Has caused him to limp every now and again but is running about, eating etc no bother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimsherriek Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 One of my hounds had a similar injury. His was a broken bone that healed wrong. Arthritis caused the limping. Did your vet xray the area?

greysmom Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Probably not an emergency, but at some point it needs an xray, just to make sure of what it's not (cancer vs broken bone, vs individual physiology), and to anticipate any medical/drug needs to keep him comfortable in the future.
