Whippet and lurcher were out in the back garden goofing about and he must have seen something in our field so shot off and didn't make it through the post and rail fence! The big bit of bone came out the front of his chest!
He's recovering ok, had 6 weeks in a crate and now on 'gentle' exercise if there is such a thing with a whippet
Feeling sorry for himself !

That must have been terrifying for you and him!! Chayse has been off the Gabapentin for about a week and seems OK. We need to keep an eye on him to make sure he doesn't start losing muscle again.
Rex is fine. Gets his stitches out tomorrow and he will come back to the farm with me on Thursday - I will be watching him like a hawk at all times.
Thank you for asking.

Oh, the poor love! Must have been really scary for you too! He is very gorgeous, I do miss my two 
Yes it was.The vet thought he had impaled himself on something as the bone had gone back in and it just looked like a hole that wouldn’t stop bleeding. So we had to go for a scan to see how far the hole went in only to be shocked that the hole was due to the bone coming out!
Not nice and very lucky the bone came out and not into his chest.
But he’s still a great dog, they are a lot of fun!

I’ve posted about Murphy and seemingly summoned the vet
She’s just called, still too low. Doubled the dose.
The capsules we have (Vetoryl) come in 10, 30 and 60 mg as far as I remember.She’s just called, still too low. Doubled the dose.
The capsules are virtually the same price per capsule regardless of dose.
So unless your insurance covers it, you have to hope the correct dose won't mean you end up needing to be giving say 20 mg twice a day (ie 4 capsules a day) or 50 mg twice a day (6 capsules)
We have a 17 kg working cocker spaniel, and anyone who has horses will know that you dose an animal by body weight.
We started on 10 mg twice a day,which moved to 30mg once a day, but her correct dose seems to be 60mg, given as 30 mg twice a day.
I asked if we could give her 60 mg once a day, but the vet, who I trust, said that we had to give the lower dose twice a day, 12 hours apart, to keep the drug level in her blood stream more constant. So it is hidden in her food, at 6am and 6pm.
60 capsules ( a month's supply at 2 a day) costs £104 bought online.
She's 16 next month and doing much better on the Vetoryl (plus Yumove twice a day for her hips)

Never realised they came in different paintjobs than black! Awesome looking critter 
Thank you. There's a not very nice back story my wife dug out about the kennel club not accepting liver coloured flatties up to the 1980's which is why you only used to see them black. You'll see more and more now and a liver flat coat won crufts 2 years ago.Edited by s6boy on Wednesday 20th March 06:40

For anyone with a retriever, this will probably ring true

Below is a photo of Bramble, with Pippin, from about 25 years ago.

We have two liver flatties and they are total f
king nutters.
Fabulous. Did you know what you were letting yourself in for?king nutters.
Kidding, Yes we knew about the temperament and personality beforehand and after having a retriever/GS and everything else cross, we were looking for something less ‘challenging’.
Lovely dogs!
Had to travel to find them though as like you say, liver flatties were almost unheard of until recently.

Can we see a (non X-ray) image of the mad whippet in question please?
I was looking after my neighbour's Whippet last week and she takes off like a Cheetah on peds but has a good recall fortunately. How did it happen, was s/he attempting the land speed record ? Can we see a (non X-ray) image of the mad whippet in question please?
