I got a dog the has skyatic nerve damage(spelling??) Too. He drags his foot and cant feel it. Its getting nasty and i been think bout getting it cut off. Let me know how yours does when you get him back in the woods if you dont mind..
Good looking dogs..
even if he doesn't make it in the woods it better than what it got to... His leg got bad... And I was doing everything in my power to not have get it cut off. He eventually started chewing on it because he couldn't feel it, and that was really bad! So I would say if you have a good vet near you that the dog needs it gone if he/she can't feel it. If you do not feel that the dog has the heart to make it through something like that put it down... Because I can tell you from personal experience, it takes a lot of TLC and time to get a dog healed up from something like that, mentally and physically. He has a extremely high pain tolerance, and has a very high drive so I made the decision to do the op. this time I think it was good choice.
