ArtistsRifles Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Those here we've met at shows will probably recall our Dog Mk 5 - aka Toby. Well - a few weeks ago he started limping in one hind leg and a vet diagnosed arthritis and some tablets. Seemed to work then it all started up again so took him back and the senior vet immediately diagnosed a torn Cruciatus Ligament in the knee. This meant operation time so he went in last week for the op. Now he has a £2,500 tiitanium knee - and a large shaved patch in the long hair!!! :rofl: Before the "fun": After the "fun": He's getting back to normal now - by the time show season gets up and running - he should be too!!! Now to hope the insurance settles OK and quickly!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Isn't the dog embarres by having to walk around in a partially shaved Bu*t? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted April 3, 2009 Author Share Posted April 3, 2009 Hard to tell mate - he's on 2 month confined to barracks by order of the vet!! :rofl: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewroberts.1953 Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Know the problem. We had a young springer which had the same problem. What made things worse, the vet did the WRONG leg! So the dog then had both back legs u/s. My wife is not the type to get upset, she is a nurse. But I have never seen the vet so scared, when he told us he had done the wrong leg. The spinger is now fine, and thorwing it'self around like normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeEnfield Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Hey Neil, glad to hear Tobys on the mend. All the best, mate. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted April 3, 2009 Author Share Posted April 3, 2009 Thanks mate!! He should be back up to full steam for W&P - and one member of the AMVG will be dreading this as he called Toby over the other year from a fair distance and by the time Toby arrived he was going too fast to stop and impacted him straight in the sensitive parts. Probably - from a watchers viewpoint - one of the funniest things seen for ages!! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
