JohnFreeman1310 Posted January 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 I knew it wasn't his pads as he is always walked on soft grass but I said I don't want to cause him harm as he will be my first gun dog. I have had dogs most my life westies, lurcher x ECT but the vet says its not bad there's no movement in the join just a very Likely just nicked it a little so I'll meet you posted hopefully with good news!

ferguson_tom Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 kongs filled with his daily food allowance should keep him busy for some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETO Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 kongs filled with his daily food allowance should keep him busy for some time. Another vote for the kong. If you boil and egg and squeeze it in - takes them forever to get it out! Also dry food and cheese - in the microwave for a few seconds till melted - leave to cool - sorted. My dogs favourite is cooked meat slices, primula cheese - all packed together then frozen. Love the stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
