Anyone any experience with these?  Dylan has just been diagnosed with a fracture of one of the bones in his carpal joints.   Sad Although it could also be a serious sprain - the x rays are not conclusive.  Anyone any experience of how well dogs heal from this and whether it causes any problems long term on the running front?

 Sorry Liz, I can't offer any advice, however, I can pass on a big cuddle to Dylan  :-

Hope he is on the mend soon and starting to feel better and comfortable.

Thanks Sharon,  he's already fed up with being bandaged up all the time but pretty chirpy considering.  At least it is less painful now. 

 Mind you way things are here at the mo I think we could do an episode of Animal Hospital.  We have Kai grounded too having completely sliced open the webbing between his toes.  He's feeling great unfortunately and is spending most of the time removing his bandage Roll Eyes  If I manage to keep a bandage on for a day I am doing well.  Tried bootees over the top and they just got eaten!  when he is not pulling the bandage off little Ziva is helping him.
