Where and when does he yelp is he active or sitting in the kennel is it after exercise or during the night if ya know wat I mean .
lots more detail needed

johnny3

Sometimes at first when he's just out fresh not worried about that but noticed ytd again we wer out about an hr and a half when strarted very annoying

snipe02

So wat exactly is he doin when he starts how long does it last etc is he yelping while hunting wat experience you have with springers

johnny3

He just starts this yelping for no reason and it's not cus he on a scent ie like a barking springer
An no I don't have a lot off experience with springers wos a pointer man for the last 25 yrs or so

1 queen ann leg is very unusual in a springer or any dog this sounds more like a deformed issue to me
but im no vet so why not pop along and ask the pros

jimf

a lot of people will tell you queen ann legs are a form of elbow dysplasia but if that's the case there is a hell of a lot of ftw/ftc out there with this issue

johnny3

The dogs left leg is pointing at like 10 o'clock it you no what I meen and badly bowed il try and put up a pic

I would not for 1 minute try and tell you what to do with your dog but this really is an issue you should be discussing with your vet

if the leg is as Im visualising the whole carriage of the dog will be off which may even mean the dog is dislocating a joint under pressure even try walking yourself as you have described above and jaysus its not easy

I have 2 ess with queen ann legs and both are hard going honest ould dogs and imho don't curtail them in any way my own ould legs are straight enough I think and im the 1 who comes home bolloxed

I was just wondering whether is was giving tongue and you didnt realise pardon me you obviously know your dogs sorry no use us guessing as jimf said go to a professional try ask a few greyhound men which one they use

johnny3

Yea thanks
I had him to the vet which is a vetinry for cats and dogs and she said he wd be fine apart from spoiling the look of the dog

god johnny that's the worst ive ever seen the right leg is also queen anne but that's the usual stance

that left leg is very bad

johnny3

Yea it looks cat but the vet said I shudnt affect him hunting and it doesn't seem too

charlie10

that is bad looking ,he must find it hard working with a leg like that

johnny3

Na goes hard enough for 3 hrs or so plus he's only 12 months will jus hav to keep an eye on the yelping seems to b a new thing wit him

charlie10

was he taken prematurely from the mother as a pup ? had he that leg when u bought him ?

johnny3

Bought him at 8 months it's a long story how I ended up buying him I was told he had queen ann legs but when I seen him he wos in traching cover and I didn't examine him closely cus it wos another dog that I went to veiw and when I got the idea to go back for this lad I met ur man half way I will be more cued in nx time

charlie10

was his leg always that way ya ? yera like u said if it isnt hurting him ,he is grand

at 12 months he would be tightening up on all the growth plates so now is the time you would be expecting problems how long ago since he was at vet

the twists and turns of a working day must put strain on that leg even first thing in morning could possibly be an issue

snipe02

Ya would want indicaters on them legs ,, but infairness if it doesnt bother him it shouldnt bother you but please dont ever breed from him even if hes the best dog in the world

johnny3

Two months I'd say since at vets

johnny3

Yea snipe his appearance wouldn't bother me once it's not hurrying him I will keep a close eye on him and no I'd never breed from him
