Been to the vets with dodge this morning, the vet is very happy with the healing and the x-raysDodge has now got to keep his bandage on now for 2weeks to help with the swelling,
Here is the first x-ray before the op
Here is the 2nd x-ray after the op
Here is what it looks like with no bandage on
Poor Dodge that looks really nasty, hope he makes a good patient & has a good recovery :luck:
Poor Dodge best of luck with him, hope he's soon on the mend :luck:
That looks awful, hope he gets well soon 
The big grey blob is cement its holding all the pins together that are coming out of his foot
Had a dog with exact same injury,quite a few years back.Was out of my 1st ever litter,to the dog i bought from the Cornish lads,(litter brother to Cornish Bob).At 5 months,he broke all 4 mets.They broke at an angle,just like i see one in youre xray .Alexander Perez,the world famous Italian vet,who had just started practising in Ireland with Brian Jones,took on the job of putting them back together again.He also,thought that Silver would never race,especialy round the bends.But as he was the only dog pup i had from the litter,we decided to go ahead anyhow.The foot healed briliantly,though it was a bit turned out.At 11 months old,i started him free running,and in no time he was up the field after the lure.A noted lurcher judge,from across the water,told me in the ring one day,that the dog could never be expected to run,with a leg like th,and never gave him a second glance,even though he was a smashing looker.(Graham Pendleton,though he looked the bee's knee's).He won the straight racing that day,right in front of the judges nose,and went on to be unbeaten,that year,till he had a career ending injury in the final at Chatsworth,after being driven from behind,by another dog,when he hit the bad dip in the ground,and was trying to get back behind the lure.He finished the race in 3rd place,and collopsed as he turned to come back down the field to me.His groin was twisted,and his back was out so bad,that we had to leave shortly afterwards,and get an early sailing home,to get him to Brian Jones.Tried to bring him back again,but he couldn't stride out,with the back wrecked.But till the day he died,the foot never gave him a bit of trouble.Scruff also broke all 4 of his,along with a toe,and can run the lure without much of a problem.He does have one big flat foot though,which can't grip the ground ,on take off.So he'll never reach his full potential.Has as good a life as the rest though,so keep youre hopes up.He may be 100%,and could still run the straights.Hope this,at least,will be the outcome.Heal well,little man.
