Picked my good cat male up from the vet today,a week ago was hit in the left hind leg and dislocated it below the knee(hock on a horse) reset the leg and 4 days later wasn't doin good I took him back,the blood vessels were crushed and blood circulation was poor at best! They removed the leg just below the hip yesterday! My question: I have seen good cow dogs go on and still work,but what about a strike/bay dog? I know he still will have the hunt,but the ability to move on a bay- not sure! Has anyone gone through this besides me??

I had a dog that I had to remove her front leg, of which the vet said was better than removing her back leg.  He said she would run better with a lost front leg.   However, she is much slower. She can move around in a bay fine, but cannot last in long runs and tires easy.  However, she is an older dog.  I had a younger and smaller dog who broke her back leg.  While I did not have to remove it, she did not put it on the ground the whole time it was in a cast.  This dog was just as fast and agile on 3 legs as she was and is now on 4.   You just have to try it..

Thanx guys! I feel as if it was my leg as I've had him little over 5 yrs. For now he is fine- I'll let him tell me when he can't do it anymore!  Afro
