Is there heat coming from it ?


Best advice I can give you is just wait until the vet has taken a look


good luck xx

yeah its hot! out of 10 i'd say hes at least 7 lame!

Hopefully its just pulled and not done any tendon damage .... best wait see what vet says, I would cold hose it first thing in the morning until vet comes out . xx

 

[Loopy_laura]

ok will do, and will keep you posted!

Continue cold hosing & ice packs if you have them, but the vet is a must.

vet said box rest and bute for 7-10 days, keep hosing and see how he is!
as i have said already in vet bit he'll love that being hunting fit and now in the choky!! poor old archie 6004!
