London Best Posted October 14, 2021 Report Share Posted October 14, 2021 That is the third time I have heard of a dog doing that. Each time a Collie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife had a springer years ago called bracken, I wasn't throwing a stick for him rather was javelin style chucking a long branch away and he chased it, it stuck into the ground and he dived for the end of it. Into the mouth and jammed into his throat, the amount of blood was horrible. I nearly suffocated him jamming a towel down there to stop the blood and luckily he recovered. Lesson learned, when the dogs about don't throw anything that you don't want brought back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge911 Posted October 14, 2021 Report Share Posted October 14, 2021 Unfortunately this is not as uncommon as people would think happened to my sister's lab a few years back. Last year my nephew's lurcher ., A cracking lamping dog on the bunnies,.. was full chat on the tail of a bunny and when she put her head down to grab it she hit a tuft off rush grass and instantly went AoverT and didn't get up . She'd broken her neck and passed on the spot .. My nephew was gutted to say the least .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTaylor91 Posted October 14, 2021 Report Share Posted October 14, 2021 I warned the mother in law about throwing sticks for her collie “always been thrown sticks he’s fine”. One went down his neck caused a bit of damage. £500 vet bill. She doesn’t throw him sticks anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Few years ago I was out with a guy with his lurchers and although not the same outcome, his older dog got wrong footed and thumped its chest straight into a big lump of earth beside a burrow. The dog survived but I had never seen a dog being winded before, poor thing could barely stand up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
