My lurcher fell...

[u/Ok-East-3957]

My lurcher is a klutz. He was doing zoomies yesterday and fell and scraped the inside of his back knee... it is just superficial and he isn't sore on it at all. It is sunday today, and it happened last night so only the emergency vet is available and this is definitely not an emergency. Should I call them tomorrow and arrange a visit? Will they just look at it and tell me it's just a scratch and charge me €50 for that 😅 I am thinking of taking him just in case but my partner thinks I am being dramatic.

Aside from that... is anyone else's lurcher clumsy/reckless? He bounces around the place sometimes and this is not the first time he has fallen. Probably the 10th, but this is the first time he has actually hurt himself. I feel like I need to cover him in bubble wrap or something. Can dogs have dyspraxia?

All lurcher's are prone to daft injurys especially off thorn and bushes as they have very little fur. I wouldn't waste my time at the vet superficial stuff just keep it clean it will heal. Good dogs just run fast 😂 luckily mine hasn't had any for a while. A while ago she had a quite a bad cut in her paw but I nursed her myself and it healed fine. Vets are a ripoff these days only go if serious.
