Hi cd Here's a link to lots of stuff about the Thera Paw boots. You'll see pictures of greyhounds on there 🙂 https://www.therapaw.com/thera-pawboots.aspx Julie Sadler kindly lent us one for when Lola had her toe amputated but we have since bought some for Lena as she has since developed corns. I think Paul got them from this place: https://www.veterinary-instrumentation.co.uk/home.php?cat=428 As they were the best price he could find at the time. They come in a wide range of sizes so that you should be able to find a size for those slender greyhound feet. We were just advised to keep the dressing and then the wound dry and it was Feb last year so probably not great weather at the time. If we have a nice dry spell and you don't walk her in long grass then you won't necessarily need a boot I guess and they won't fit over the dressing in any case. Please do keep us posted how she gets on. xx

Lindapaul.... Thanks for the good advice. One thing I'm not sure about is the therapaw boot you mentioned as I've never heard of it! So my dumb question is ......what is it and where did u get it from?

I can only echo what LindaPaul have said, thats exactley what happened with Berties toe !!Bertie trotted in for the op and came out his usual taggy tailed self, it was me who needed a sedative !! to say I was upset was an understatement, I was so horrified that I had let him injure himself, he had only been with us a short time and I thought ' already lost a toe '!!! but honestley he recovered so quickly and as others will testify it has not slowed him down a bit, he still runs round like he is on Perry Barr race track and now it is all healed even I forget he is missing a toe !! Good luck to you all, dont be too hard on yourself !!

Sorry to hear that Ruby has to have the op after all. You'll have your own post op care instructions from your vet afterwards but I remember we were able to take Lola into the garden with a drip bag over her dressing and then for short walks with it on too, so if you can get your vets to give you a drip bag to go home with that will be a help (they are good and tough). Once she had the dressing removed we used a Therapaw boot until her stitches came out a few days later. I think she had her stitches out 14 days after the op itself. Trying to say that it really won't be long at all before Ruby is back to normal. I know that you will still be worried no matter what we say on here, that is entirely natural but please just know we'll be thinking of you. Linda, Paul & the girls xx

Hello! Ahh, thanks for saying all the lovely things about Charlie Mouse! I really enjoy training (he is brilliant!) & seeing everyone & you can't beat that chat & cup of tea at the end! It was so great to see everyone at Daybreaks too. The Mouse & I went to Stratford yesterday & we took tea together!! It was a dog friendly tea shop & I also ordered scrambled egg on toast & Charlie just lay down at the side of my table while I ate, good as gold. So proud! We also went to the market, a craft fair & had a trip on the ferry across the water, where he did look out over the river rather curiously!

Off to the vets this morning to have the strapping removed from Ruby's leg and for the vet to make her final decision to do the op on wed or not. Been awake since 4am worrying about Ruby.

Our dear NIKKI is progressing amazingly well. Her nervousness is improving daily with love and TLC. Max adores her and is giving her confidence in her new life. It's lovely to see them so happy. We've bought her a new collar and lead so she wont need to wear our darling late Graces hand-me-downs, but she will be wearing Graces pretty patchwork coats I made for her.
