Title: Re: Torn muscle!!! Post by: Jimt3 on August 21, 2013, 09:40:20 pm Well if your first thought is to head to the message boards to ask us rednecks what you should do then you're in bad shape from jump! Good luck, keep us posted.

Gotta response from.here long before I could have gotten to the vet. number 2 we just got to the house. And I've learned if its happened to me then its surely happened to someone else and they may just be lookin. But thanks for the advice any ways.

Title: Re: Torn muscle!!! Post by: Texashog26 on August 23, 2013, 09:39:54 am Brent picks him up from New baiden today, had to amputate the leg. Muscle was totally torn, along with all tendons, ligaments and just about anything that held his leg to his body with the exception of the bone. We've heard some good feedback on 3 legged dogs, so when he heals up we gonna put back in the woods. Hopefully it didn't scare him to much. He's only 8-9 months old, but he was really showin the signs of turnin out. This experience, I can only assume has been pretty traumatic. Worst comes to it, brents got a 3 legged yard dog w/a good story.
