Hi All,
my greyhound broke her leg this morning and I've just heard back from the vets. Our options are:
- a vastly long, complicated and expensive operation that she may or may not come out of and may or may not work.
- amputation
- euthanasia.
I've never been one for long, distressing operations/treatment when it comes to animals so I'm realistically looking at options 2 or 3.
So my question is do any of you have any experience of greyhounds with only three legs, bearing in mind that she will lose a front leg? I just can't see it working as she is a big, lanky dog. I'm also worried about quality of life - she loves to run, in some ways it is her reason for living.
Any advice will be very gratefully received.
