Title: Warning for the big dog owners. Post by: Creighton on May 10, 2010, 06:54:08 pm Bad deal yesterday. Our husky was running to get back in the house. Slipped right before the steps and his front leg went under the lower step and momentum carried his body forward. Broke the forearm badly. He now has 8 pins and a two plates for 3 to 6 weeks and will require a cast after that. 3K+ lesson.
Make sure any steps have solid riser boards. Creighton Title: Re: Warning for the big dog owners.

I have a soft spot for dogs. My bid ole chocolate lab just did the same thing on the weekend chasing our jack russel around. The jack went between the steps under the deck and my lab tried to stop doing the same thing as yours did. He limped around and this morning I was taking him to the vet but he's fine now. Scary when these things happen. Hope all turns out well.
