He broke each of his hocks in separate incidents while he was a racer. When we adopted him he was still wearing a cast. Now that he is older one of them is giving him a lot of problems. We have a hell of a time keeping him from running on it.
Thats what greyhounds love to do..run run run. Thats why not everyone can handle them as pets.
Perhaps there is some kind of happy medium you can find where you just expect the pain and aching to come and try to work with it as best as you can...quality of life over quantity of life sort of thing?
Its not like you can put the dog in a walker or something, or give him a crutch.
