hi tom you want to know about what my dog thinks. When he leaves his kennel after resting always shakes and in doing so raises one of his, always right front legs, this may be a sign or warning of injury or pain?? I had another dog that lifted a hind leg when shaking, if you have injury where you think it may be to cause this effect, thanks for your attention tom. Jose atte

Hi Jose,
You are right, when a greyhound lifts one leg off the ground when having a shake it certainly does indicate that there is an injury somewhere in the leg.
The most likely place to find an injury in the front leg is in the area from 50 mm up of the top of the wrist to the toe joints.
The areas to check are the lower end of the Ulna, the stopper bone and ligaments, the area where the bottom of the Radius touches the top of the small bones just above the Metacarpals, the metacarpals themselves, and every toe joint including the Sesamoids.
Cheers,
Tom

hello it tom, you know that a puppy of 11 months was a corral has a problem not if may fix, the right hind leg fairly straight is located in the part of astrangalus, what happens is that when you put in upright position this part is unstable note and make him walk on two legs forward this part of the leg tends to bend forward against what makes the joint, is on the opposite side tarsus I have very procupado this that happens to the puppy. the question: is this something common in puppies? which may be the cause of this contingency? and what would be the way to fix it, thanks for all your tips tom. in the case of the first question that you answered me earlier, what would cause a dog to shake up one of its hind legs?

Hi Jose,
Mate I'm sorry but the actual meaning of your post has got lost in the translation and I'm therefore unable to provide any worthwhile guide. From what I can understand is that your pup has a structural shape that looks different when compared to an adult greyhound.
You said the pup is 11 months of age and at that age the major portion of its growth is completed, and is close to mature as far as the basic body structure is concerned.
If there is a problem with the bone structure at this point in time it is highly unlikely to be able to be corrected.
Cheers,
Tom
